About

In Longview Park in Austin, Texas behind a fence resides a small cemetery. The cemetery oddly resides next to a park. It's believed that around 14 graves exist in this forgotten cemetery. Two graves, Ada Bargsley and her mother Sarah were victims of the May 4 1922 twin tornadoes which struck Austin.
