There are 18 graves at the Rumph Family Cemetery. All but four are recorded in this cemetery's interments listing. The interment information was obtained as listed in the book titled, "This Man David - a southern planter", by Juanita Daniel Zachry (Quality Print Company, 1971 - 243 pages). The author states, "It is unknown who lies in the remaining four marked graves."

The same cemetery and interment information is available at

Efforts are in progress to access the cemetery for one occasion to obtain photographs of the graves, and a photograph for the Rumph Family Cemetery.

Directions as per Taylor County, TXGenWeb, which are written as if driving from the Abliene, Texas FM 707 Beltway:
"From Beltway Drive South (FM 707) go South on US Highway 84 for 12.3 miles to the intersection of FM 614. Turn left (East) and go 5.8 miles to the intersection of CR 140. CAUTION: CR 140 intersects right at the end of a sharp, 90° turn and to compound things it is a gravel road. Turn left (East) on Cr 140 and go a short distance to the first gate on the left (North). Follow the pasture road to the cemetery near the base of the hill. This cemetery is on private property (Harper Ranch) but don't waste your time trying to get permission to go to this cemetery. Unfortunately the present land owner appears to have no interest in genealogy or preservation of any information concerning identification of those buried at this grave site."
