No.  At the time of these deaths this was a very rural area.  It stayed that way until Lake Granbury was built and the land values went sky high.  Some people preferred to destroy cemeteries rather than protect them.  In this case the cemetery is in a large pecan orchard.  I sure that when these trees were planted any existing markers disappeared.
 
I saw a housing development go on top of a cemetery in Bedford, TX.  The local historical and genealogical societies were unable to stop it because the law enforce agencies wouldn't do anything. 

Yes we have laws in Texas that make this illegal, but if no one will enforce them that doesn't matter.  We have many laws on the books in this country that aren't enforced, local, state and federal.

One more thought! Could this be the local pauper cemetery? Total lack of
stones suggests this, unless flooding washed away the stones years ago. Judy
