Nameless Cemetery

Source code for namelesscemetery.org, the website of the Nameless Cemetery Association in Travis County, Texas.

About

Nameless Cemetery is a historic Texas cemetery with burials dating to 1882. The community of Nameless got its name after the U.S. Post Office rejected six proposed names and a frustrated resident wrote back: "Let the post office be Nameless and be damned."

The Nameless Cemetery Association was incorporated in 2009 to preserve and maintain the cemetery, the adjacent 1909 schoolhouse, and the relocated Gray homestead.

This site was built to replace an aging WordPress blog and give the association a modern, fast, mobile-friendly home on the web.
