The Brice family is well represented with several tombstones
- one a Civil War veteran and another with the unusual first name of Jap.

Leakey Cemetery
FM 337 as
you enter Leakey from the East
The Leakey
Cemetery is a little more interesting than most - not as interesting as some others.
It contains the graves of the town founders - always a nice touch for a small
town cemetery.
It is perhaps a little ironic that the first interments
in the cemetery were the last to be killed by Indians (in Real County). These
were victims of Lipan Apaches and their
story is explained by the marker near their graves. They are on the right
hand side of the cemetery (west) toward the SW corner.
