Excerpt
I visited the Dragoo Cemetery in 1996. Nearly all the burials are directly or indirectly related to my Dragoo, Straight and Ice ancestors. My great great grandmother Rebecca Matheny Dragoo - Price is buried there. She was first married to the legendary William "Indian Billy" Dragoo.
Time and weather have erased many of the markers that our ancestors placed as permanent remembrances. Trees, brush and brambles and thorns now cover the once hallowed ground. It is my hope that this book will preserve the Dragoo Cemetery records for all those who will not have the opportunity to walk there.
