Submitted by  Wanda Westfall

Located 17 miles southeast of San Antonio, Texas

This cemetery is very old and some years back citizens of Elmendorf and others took a lot of the headstones and made porch steps and used them for other things. The law made the ones caught put them back but there were many lost forever. A lot of the headstones are deteriorated and others in overgrown enclosures. The city council of Elmendorf recently put into effect cemetery hours of 7a.m. – 9pm seven days a week.
