ST. MARY'S CATHOLIC CEMETERY

The following is a quote taken from the book

"75th Year Jubilee of St. Mary's Parish, Fredericksburg, Texas"

Copyright@1955 Stephen E. Montgomery, Jr.

"Until this time the parish was without its own cemetery.  For this reason on 10 March 1860 Father Alto paid $5.00 for ten acres of land a mile from the city for that purpose.  One acre was fenced and the other nine acres lay unused until in 1903 they were, unfortunately, sold for $100.00.  The deed, prepared on 02 July 1903,
contained a special passage that concerned the easement to the cemetery and it read as follows:  "DESCRIPTION:  All one fourth or ten acre lot No. 333 as the same is known and destinated on the map of the said town of Fredericksburg and neighborhood containing about 10 acres of land, except a portion out of the Northeast corner of said lot now separately enclosed by a stone fence which encloses the graves on said lot; conditioned, however, that the said John Rosenbach, his heirs and assigns, shall keep in repair the fence and gate around the graves above mentioned and shall at all times grant free and undisturbed ingress and egress from the street or public road over lands now owned by him to the spot containing the graves and herein reserved, to all parties wishing to visit said spot; to have and to hold etc. Vol. 10 pages 30-31. Dated July 2, 1903."

Please note: This book has many names of Gillespie County Founders. I bought it in Fredericksburg at a book shop there.

I transcribed the St. Mary's Catholic Cemetery Records from the Gillespian published by the Fredricksburg Genealogical Society.. Other information was taken from Obituaries published in the "Frederickburg Standard-Radio Post" I have left out dates published in the Gillespian that may be for living persons.  If you know that these persons are in fact no longer living and you want to share this please email me.   If you know the maiden names of those persons who have no maiden name indicated I would be glad to hear from you.
