Clearest perspective. This photo was taken from the back road of the cemetery. The headstone is small compared to those around it. It was worth the little drive. And who doesn’t want to say they have been to Paradise.   mdfnjes2022 / Atlas Obscura User

It’s kinda in the middle of the back of the graveyard. Try to use the trees in the pic to find the exact spot.   abbybrookshire / Atlas Obscura User

About

In the back corner of the quiet Paradise Cemetery in Paradise, Texas, is a gravestone that simply reads "Lost Arm of F. Stewart-Sept. 27, 1910." No other gravestones nearby indicate where the rest of Stewart's body is buried. Very little is actually known about why the arm is buried under the headstone, why it exists, or if anything at all is buried at the site.
