According to Find a Grave back in the late 1920s or early 1930s, a band of gypsies camped in Ben Arnold, Texas. They had camped across from the Ben Arnold Cemetary for several weeks. Their children even attended a local school in Ben Arnold for the time they were there.
One morning the gypsies were gone and a new grave was in the cemetery way off from the other graves. It was believed that Gypsies may have camped in the area so long because someone was sick, possibly the deceased. It's unknown who was buried or their gender or age. A small cross was made with the word Gypsy written on it as a marker since their name was unknown to locals.
