Confederate Cemetery - San Antonio, TX

The Confederate Cemetery Association was founded on January 10th, 1992, by members of the Sons of the Confederate Veterans and Daughters of the United Confederacy to restore and care for the final resting place of hundreds of American veterans and their families. The cemetery is located in the heart of San Antonio Cemetery #4, part of the original 40-acre grant from the King of Spain. In 1885, the Albert Sidney Johnston Camp, No. 118, United Confederate Veterans of San Antonio purchased the property to provide a final resting place for Confederate Veterans and their families. Today, over 900 marked graves are present, including veterans of the Civil War (both Union and Confederate), Indian Wars, World War I, World War II, and their families. The CCA's achievements include obtaining a National Historic Designation and the Texas Historical Commission's designation as a Historic Texas Cemetery.
