Moscow, Polk County
Now named for a former county commissioner, this burial ground has also been known as Lone Pine Cemetery, Brown Cemetery and Adams-Lott Cemetery. It began as a family graveyard for the Lott family. In 1843, Joshua and Anna (Woolsey) Lott moved with their family from Mississippi to the Republic of Texas. One of the couple's sons, Calvin, farmed this property. He also served as a Confederate soldier and in the Texas State Troops during the Civil War. Calvin lott died in 1884 and is buried here; his is the oldest marked grave, though there are believed to be earlier unmarked burials. Today, Adams Cemetery remains as a record chronicling several pioneer families of Polk County. Historic Texas Cemetery - 2008
