Rosemound Cemetery Burials

Waco, Texas
By Matthew D. Wittmer

This cemetery contains the bodies of the original Waco Davidians, the predecessors to the Branch Davidians from which David’s community was a branch. This is the second site location of this cemetery. It was originally located near the corner of Bishop and Valley Mills on the Davidian’s original Mount Carmel property. I’ve included a photo of the house that exists today near Bishop and Valley Mills where the graves used to be. Geoff Hunt who works at Baylor’s Texas Collection remembers the graves being dug up on this site where the house sits now as he used to ride his bike near the holes after the bodies were moved but before the house was built.
