Mitchell-Fallon Cemetery


Several members of the Mitchell family are buried in a small family cemetery located in a pasture that's being turned into a housing subdivision outside of Benchley.  The body of a Union soldier, who moved to Texas after the Civil War and lived among the Henry and other families, is buried nearby but outside the fenced-in Mitchell family plot.
