This cemetery is located on a ten-acre tract of land sold by Judy and Shadrach Dixon to the San Marcos Cemetery Association in 1876. Built about 1890, this carpenter Gothic chapel has been the scene of many funerals and memorial services over the years, including those of Civil War, Spanish American War, and world War I veterans. Of board and batten construction, it features a cruciform plan and Gothic arched openings. Recorded Texas Historic Landmark - 1973 |
