The small 1 acre cemetery site sits on a sloping hill with a great view of the Austin skyline. Behind the cemetery are many acres of undeveloped land at this point. What is interesting about this cemetery is that there are no headstones above ground. All the headstones lay flush to the ground for mowing purposes, and after walking the property, I counted close to about 100 headstones or more. The majority of them sit on the east side and they are predominantly from the early to late 1960s. The graves on the west side are from the 70s through the 90s. The markers from before 1970 are cast in concrete (found a couple in granite in 60's) while those after 1970 are chiseled in granite. The ages of the decedents here vary from the young to the old. This may no longer be an active graveyard since the last head stone was laid in 2002. The photos in this review tell the rest of the story.

I almost gave up looking for this cemetery because of its remote location. Google maps has it at…read moreone location when in reality it's almost a quarter of a mile away. It's very close to Highway 20 and Shiloh Road, which is just on the outskirts of Bastrop, Texas. In order to find it, you'll have to turn into a school parking lot and then very quickly veer left onto a single lane dirt road and follow it about 1000 feet until you arrive. This is still very much an active cemetery for the local residents. It sits on about 3 to 5 acres and still has additional room in case you're interested. After scanning many of the headstones, it is primarily an African-American cemetery judging by the headstones and porcelain portraits affixed to those markers. It has a single gravel road that dead ends at the back of the cemetery. There's a lot of randomness as to how the graves are arranged with lots of flowers left by loved ones. I did not spot any headstones from the 1800s, the vast majority are from the latter part of the 20th century and on. There were a few service members buried here and most of the graves have granite headstones, but some are in the cheaper cast concrete. It's a quiet place, but you can still hear the traffic on Highway 20 not far away.

The property is only a couple of acres in size and has a gravel lane that runs around the perimeter on the property also sits a well-made pagoda like structure that is dedicated to some previous church members. The cemetery is well laid out in family plots and is well taken care of, even the headstones appear to have been cleaned. The majority of the graves are from the 20th century but there are a handful of recent additions. This is referred to as a church graveyard, however, there is no church on or next to the property. The two most notable names found throughout the property are Almquist and Johnson. There appears to still be additional space for interments and a photo included in this review has the information you need in case you wish to inquire.

This is still an active cemetery with just a handful of graves on it with much more room for future residents. There is an access point on Caldwell Lane, but unfortunately it looks like someone just drove right through the gate destroying it. There is no sign denoting the name of the cemetery but there is another cemetery nearby called Comanche Cemetery North. Considering its location I was surprised to see that the grass was well mowed and the graves were well tended. However being such a small cemetery there is no road of any sort leading into it so you'll just have to park just past the gate. The primary name that I could find here was Haws and in the corner of the cemetery is a large oak tree that obscures some fallen older gravestones. I did not spot any historical names here, unlike the nearby Hainy Church cemetery. It should be pointed out that just a couple hundred feet south of the cemetery lie additional headstones in a field along Caldwell. However, they are not as easily seen because this field is overgrown with weeds and the graves don't appear to be cared for. There's not a whole lot to see at this site, but there's room enough to make it your forever home.

This cemetery is about 150 yards from Highway 290 on Ochoa Street in Elgin TX. The cemetery…read moreoccupies between seven and 10 acres with a gravel road running through it. As the name of this cemetery implies, its residents are almost entirely Hispanic. The majority of the graves are from the latter part of the 20th century and many are from the last 20 years. The oldest headstones that I could find dated from the 1940s. The good news is that if you're looking for your forever home, there's still room available here. Not only is this still an active cemetery, but it's quite clear that many surviving family members continue take care of the graves of their loved ones. The photos below clearly show their devotion.

There is a short driveway next to McKenna Lane which fits one car in front of the gate, but no road in. There is a small Texas historical sign at the front gate and a kiosk on the property with family photos enshrined. The layout of the less than two dozen graves is in some order and they are almost all buried on the summit of the hill. Further back on the property, I did find a few more, including the grave of Robert Tarleton, whose headstone was cast in concrete and who died in 1949. Almost all of the graves are primitive in their construction consisting mostly of just simple bricks and stone. Some markers are cast in concrete, which is cheaper, but the rest are in granite. There were a few unmarked graves as well. Informative photos included, which will also be posted to Google maps.

Most of the graves that sit within this 2 to 3 acre enclosure are primarily from the 20th century and later. There are a handful of stones from the 1800s. This is still a very active cemetery with many well adorned gravesites from the surviving family members. The cemetery looks relatively well-maintained although a handful of older headstones are lying on their sides. There is still some space for future interments, but it is mostly full. There are three entrances to the property with a single gravel lane winding through the property. For the most part the graves are laid out in neat rows and some family plot areas, but there is still a little bit of randomness in some of the graves as to how they fit in. I did spot three historical names here that are tied to Austin/Round Rock history. There were several graves dedicated to the name Gattis (Gattis School Rd) and Boatright and at least one to Bohls. The Boatright name seemed to be the most prominent name in the cemetery. Two other names that I found in number here are Templeton and Summers. There are some service members buried here along with 3 confederate soldiers, 2 of them are of the Boatright name. If you're looking for a forever home or just want to check out some names of history, this place is worth a visit.

Only one section is fenced in, but all of it is easily accessible. There is no parking lot so you'll have to park further down the narrow feeder lane. The cemetery is divided into three sections which may have a lot to do with the families buried here. The cemetery has been pretty well kept up considering there were no toppled headstones or heavy overgrowth. Many of these graves are from the early part of the 20th century and some a little earlier than that. The most recent decedent that I could find was from 1992. One thing that seemed conspicuously absent was a Texas historical sign. Sadly, quite a number of graves are dedicated to small children and those under 30. The photos included in this review add more dimension.
