There is a one dirt road driveway that leads in to the cemetery, but it does have a locked gate to prevent entry by car. Unlike the Bethany cemetery, I was not able to find a Texas historical sign posted here. There's not much in the way of a cemetery lawn to speak of, but it is adorned with dozens of well manicured oak trees on a hilly 5 acre lot. This cemetery, like the Bethany cemetery, is primarily populated by African-Americans. There are also dozens of graves belonging to military service members. There still appears to be more room for future interments. The photos below add more insight.

A busy road in front of it, residential homes nearby, and a storage facility directly behind it. The property is relatively well cared for, and even the older headstones from the late 1800s have been cleaned and restored. Like pretty much all cemeteries from this time, people did not live very long and you see plenty of infant and child graves. This may or may not be an active cemetery anymore since the last internment here was in 2012. I did find some Woodman of the world markers and a confederate soldier grave. One thing that was conspicuously absent was a Texas historical sign. The pictures included tell the rest of the story.

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.

Out of the over 20 graves found here, sadly, about 10 of them belong to newborns and infants. There is a Texas historical sign on the property which you can read about in the photos below that add a great more detail. Sadly, one thing that was also customary was that slaves were also buried on this property, but have unmarked graves. It does look as though some effort has been made in the upkeep of this small cemetery.

The entrance gate sits across from Camp Mabry on 35th St. Most of this less than half acre cemetery is surrounded by the State school buildings and grounds, but on the south side is residential homes. You can also hear the noise of Mopac just a few hundred yards away. According to the memorial stone at the entrance of the cemetery, there are about 130+ people interred here. However, within this small space I counted less than 40 stone markers. The markers themselves are almost entirely from the late 20s through the 1930s and they are all cast in concrete, not marble or granite. All but one marker denotes just the name of the decedent and the date of their passing and nothing else. I was told there was a fire in one of the buildings back in the 20s which killed a few patients and I noticed two of the decedents had the exact same day of death in 1929. This does not appear to be an active cemetery anymore. There was really not a lot to see here, nor was there a historical plaque other than the memorial stone at the entrance. The photos included in this review pretty much sum up what is here.

This cemetery sits at the end of a cul-de-sac on Teton Drive, which is just a few blocks from US 183 on Ohlen Road. Sadly, the cemetery which sits on less than an acre is in a shambles and in a very disorganized state. It is completely surrounded by residential homes on all sides, but this would've been in the middle of nowhere at the turn of the 20th century, which is how old some of these markers are. There are many older headstones here blended in with some newer ones as recently as 2020. Most of the cemetery is primarily green space with lots of toppled over headstones. That leads me to believe there may be many people buried at this location which may have had wooden markers at one time which have long since decayed away. Why there are some recent interments amongst these much older ones in such a dilapidated and disorganized cemetery is beyond me. I suspect this may be a African-American cemetery. Unfortunately, at this time, it does not appear that any attempt has been made to restore any of the fallen or broken headstones. At least the photos below will be added to Google maps.

There are 172 burials at the cemetery that have been documented at findagrave.com. Other documents and websites include various information about burials and family members. The Find a Grave listings include some images of the people buried there and their grave markers, obituaries, and death certificates. The cemetery, once in an open field, was surrounded by the Wooten neighborhood when it was established; eventually the high fence was added. Note: The church's website shows its name as "St. Paul." On Find a Grave, the cemetery is listed as "St. Pauls." The sign on the cemetery fence reads "St. Paul's Baptist Church."

The access point to the cemetery is from a driveway on Braker that leads to a chain link gateway (see photo below). The graveyard is not visible from the road, it is located a few hundred yards beyond the gate to the left. The undeveloped lot has several old-growth Live Oak trees and it's basically overgrown. Near the back of the lot I was surprised to find a few graves scattered about and they did not seem to have any particular order to them. Some of these graves are from the 1800s while others seem to be more modern. I spotted one gravestone beyond the fence perimeter in an overgrown section and there may have been more that I could not see. I did notice that two of the oldest graves were of people that lived to be over 100 years old. There appears to be some smaller older graves buried beneath the grass and underbrush that I could not identify. I did take several pictures of the graves themselves so you could see who was actually buried here. Sadly no care has been taken to maintain this small cemetery space as it has been completely overtaken by nature.

I have to admit I was rather surprised to find the cemetery tucked away amongst these homes not far from Burnet Road. Unfortunately many of these graves have toppled, been vandalized or are simply just lost to time. Although, it's quite obvious that efforts have been made to preserve and fix some of these headstones. The oldest decedent that I could find buried here was from 1851. It's unlikely this is an active cemetery since the last decedent was planted here before 1920. It is a registered historical landmark cemetery. The pictures in this review tell the rest of the story.
