This LB is dedicated to my granddaddy, Tommy Mack Tynes. He enlisted in the US Navy during WWII, under age at 16 years old. He was the anti-aircraft gunner on a destroyer and gunned down many Japanese Kamikaze soldier’s planes. We love you and miss you ‘Gran’! He would occasionally doodle this design and taught my dad to draw it. In turn my dad showed me and I my son. My eight year old son hand carved this stamp himself.
This cemetery is named for Daniel Arwine who owned the Hurst area, which was known as the Arwine settlement until 1912. In 1879, after the death of his daughter Katy, he deeded these 6 acres of land for a school, church and cemetery. Katy Arwine is believed to be the first buried in the cemetery. Many of these graves bear the names of the early Hurst settlers, and many which are war veterans.
Clues:
From Hwy. 121 go south on BROWN TRAIL to PIPELINE RD. and go left, then take a right on Arwine Cemetary Rd. (if you pass Domino’s Pizza, you’ve gone too far). Follow this road to the end and park.
Stop and read Hurst History marker if you wish.
Enter the cemetery through the gate and walk down the short, curved walkway to the gravel road. Continue until you see the second “A”, on the ground (left side by big oak tree) pointing to a tree stump with a big hollow hole in it. Stand on this stump, and going through the crape myrtles, take 50 steps WEST (passing on your left, REEVES gravestone and two bushy cedars). At 50 steps look to your left for a flag that marks a US veteran. This is the grave of J.B. HURST, WWI veteran. From this site walk on the grassy driveway heading NORTH. You will notice a flag pole on your left and a little further LUCAS gravestone on your right. Behind this stone is FORREST RAY TEAGUE, WWII veteran US Navy. Down this drive a little further to the right is the tall, slender, white gravestone of J.C. MCCURRY JR. “APPRENTICE SEAMAN” WWII US Navy. From this stone, walk WEST, through the crape myrtles, to the grave of young KATY ARWINE. She was the first person buried here. Directly behind Katy lies her father and mother, DANIEL AND JULIA ARWINE, who settled this area in the 1800s. If you stand between these two gravestones and look to the SOUTH there’s a crape myrtle about 5 steps away. This is where Grandaddy’s Design is hidden snuggly tucked in the bottom of the branches. Congrats and God Bless America :-)
