The specifics
The cemetery will become a Texas Historical Commission marker, with its history showcasing Mexican-American culture and history.
The inauguration will bring together local officials, community members and relatives of individuals interred at the cemetery to commemorate the legacy of those buried at the site.
The history
The cemetery was founded in the early 1900s and has since served as the final resting place for the area’s Mexican and Mexican-American pioneers who contributed to the history of Hays County and Central Texas, as stated in a news release.
Linda Coker, Hays County Historical Commission chair, said the land’s acknowledgement as a marker will ensure the stories of previous generations will continue to be remembered and respected throughout the future.
“Their legacy is now preserved not only through the lives they influenced but also through this marker, which will stand as a permanent reminder of their contributions to our region’s heritage,” Coker said.
