Blair 1855 - 1880 Perry Young 1834 - 1889 Eva E. Young 1842 - 1881 Michael Young 1801 - 1875 OLDEST GRAVE LIVE OAK CEMETERY On January 9, 1846, Anton Jones, President of Republic of Texas, granted to Francis L. Mudd one-third of a league of land. This land grant being in Milam County on the Lampasas Creek (sic). This area was soon to be known as Bell County. Bell County was cut out of Milam County in January 22, 1850. In 1851, Francis L. Mudd sold this par- cel of land to Michael Young for $1,000.00(1). Live Oak Cemetery is located in the Youngsport community. The size of the cemetery is 3.9 acres(2). According to legend, the Young family was passing through the country with a wagon train when their small daughter became sick and died. The wagon train that Michael Young traveled arrived in the area before Bell County was cut out of Milan County. The Youngs buried their daughter where they camped and decid- ed to settle on the Lampasas River. Young was known to say that he had found his "port". The camping site became known as Youngsport. The Youngs were from Alabama traveling in a wagon train when illness struck their daughter. Several other families decided to remain with Michael Young and his family(3) . Michael Young's grave is the oldest internment in the Live Oak Cemetery. His daughter's grave could be any one of the unmarked graves that were cataloged. Mr. P. C. Mitchell sold the land for a cemetery for consideration of $58.00 dollars to W. C. Turnbo, J. B. Stringer and J. D. House as trustees for the grave yard(4).
