    Please try to come to the annual Bar-B-Q on the July 4th held on the Church grounds across from the Cemetery. Funds collected are used to care for the Oak Grove Cemetery and Church grounds. There are parks north and south of the Cemetery and it is surrounded by million dollar homes. If Austin declares the Cemetery neglected and abandoned, the graves could be moved. We must keep it cleaned.
    If you cannot be present for the July 4th event, please send a donation. Any amount will be appreciated and will help keep the Cemetery and Church grounds. Send to: Oak Grove Cemetery Association, PO Box 384, Liberty Hill, TX 78642. The Church was set on fire several times by vandals and finally burned to the ground. There is only a cement foundation left. Since there are no services held on the Church property, Travis County is taxing the property. They know there are graves by the Church. They do not tax the Cemetery, but they do tax the all property by the Church.
    We try to arrive 3 or 4 days early to clean the grounds and set up the kitchen. On July Fourth, people start coming from all directions. Some have kin in the cemetery and some come for the good food and fellowship. They are all welcome. They are asked for donations, but no one has ever been turned away. Many families bring home cooked food to add to the Bar-B-Q. The ladies bring fresh garden vegetables and wonderful home made cakes, pies and cobblers. The long serving tables are so full, you can hardly set your plate down. One year someone put all the beans in the pot and set them on the stove. They were boiling good, when Rose looked at me and said "who picked and washed the beans?" ... Oops. No one had washed the beans. They were probably the best beans we had ever cooked.
    There is live music and singing. There are tables and benches shaded by live oak trees. The banks Bull Creek aren't far away.
    After lunch, we all pitch in to wash up and clean the kitchen. After the crowd leaves, late in the evening, we get out the ice cream makers and reward ourselves with home made ice cream.
    On July fifth, everyone starts loading up and heading off in different directions to go home. We hope every one will be able to come back next year. (The July 3, 2008 fish fry was canceled for lack of participation.)

Very interesting cemeteries, census History and Genealogy of Williamson County, Texas
A story of the area: THE VALLEY OF CASCADE CREEK By Cathryn Richards, December 1961 (The link is no longer good and I cannot find story)
Another story and photos: "Bull Creek Watershed is one of the most beautiful natural areas in Travis County. Once called Cascade, the name "Bull" is said to have come from the last wild bison shot near the creek in the 1860s. Another source relates the name to the many longhorn cattle that once grazed in the area."
