This cemetery is located at 1601 Comal Street east of Oakwood Cemetery. It is owned and maintained by the City of Austin at (512) 978-2320 and cemeteries@austintexas.gov. It was probably first used starting about 1916. There are some older deaths but I believe they have been moved here. The cemetery consists of Sections A-G with approx 12,500 burials. The work was started in early 2008 and finished in the same year.
I started the inventory by using the records from the city books that are held in the cemetery office at Austin Memorial Park Cemetery at Hancock and Mopac. These records were then checked by doing a section by section walking examination. This was done by me and a number of volunteers from the Austin Genealogical Society.
Since there were so many burials without markers, I checked the names against the Texas Death certificates online. All the dates from death certificates are noted by { }. In some instances only the date of burial taken from the cemetery record is available. The following abbreviations were used:
USA | United States Army |
USAAF | United States Army Air Force |
USN | United States Navy |
SPAM | Spanish American War |
MOH | Medal of Honor |
PH | Purple Heart |
WOW | Woodmen of the World |
FHM | Funeral Home Marker |
