    3. Dennis, I've seen that advertised along side the road in central Louisiana in numerous places. Small little stands, selling fruit, vegetables, and handpainted signs saying that they had Mayhaw for sale. Stopping at one of those stands about a year ago and bought some fruit and did see some of the Mayhaw. I didn't pay that much attention to it, but it was put up in "mason jars," like home-made preserves and jelly's. Don't know if that is what your referring to or not, just thought I'd through that in for what it's worth. As for Cains Cemetery, I looked in the Texas Handbook Online, and didn't find anything close. You might check the county records in Harrison, they should have deeds going back to when the land was deed over as a cemetery. Just a thought.
