Austin Cemeteries

Cemeteries are sacred to most people, so when one is established it tends to be undisturbed from that point onward. This affords us with opportunities to observe some Austin history that has not been paved over in the name of progress. While 100 year old buildings may be replaced with modern skyscapers 100 year old graves can usually still be found where they originally lay.
