History
in a Pecan Shell
La Bahia is a former village that today consists of a large white
building, a cemetery (on Boundary School Road just off Hwy 237) and
scattered residences.
The German surnames on the tombstones match many of the roads in the
immediate area. Most of the inscriptions and epitaphs are in German
as well. |
