the unknowns
Carlisle Cemetery

Stark white crosses mark the final resting spots unnamed early Lubbock citizens. Land for a cemetery for the poor was donated in 1918 by early pioneer Gus Carlisle. The first burials were victims of the Spanish influenza epidemic. Motorists on West 19th are often unaware of the cemetery.
