Have you ever stood before a simple aluminum plaque? This one, nestled on a post in Manor, Texas, is more than meets the eye. It marks the Boyce Family Cemetery, a quiet place of family history hidden from view. It was placed here in 2018 by the Texas Historical Commission, a group dedicated to preserving Texas heritage. The Boyce Family Cemetery, which lies off Howard Lane, is a stark reminder of the lives that have come and gone in this part of Texas. The cemetery sits on private property, a private driveway offering the only access. But the Boyce family, who lived here before the plaque arrived, are a silent presence, their resting place a testament to their lives. It’s easy to miss this tiny cemetery as you drive by, but it invites reflection. It is a place of rest, a place of memory. The plaque is a marker, a signpost, a reminder that even in the midst of a bustling and ever-changing world, there are still places where the past remains.

But that’s not all that makes Addcox House special. It also has an enchanting wraparound porch with arched brick supports.
