HISTORY: Patricio Gonzalez (1846-1919) established what is believed to be the oldest cemetery in Edinburg on his Buena Vista (Don Patricio) Rancho some time after 1909. According to custom, he freely allowed people to bury there. Abram Ortiz,, only man hanged in Hidalgo County Jail (some say wrongfully convicted) is buried there in an unmarked grave.
    

 In 1911, with his second wife Josefa Reyna and twelve children, he moved to town.  Gonzalez bought eight lots on present University Avenue around 21st street, and built his home and a business complex that served the Mexican American community.
