Albuquerque Cemetery
Gonzales County, Texas
This cemetery was copied by Miss Karen Mac Smith, Nixon Texas, about 1970. She was
granddaughter of A.F. Smith.
The inventory was printed in the quarterly of theGenealogical & Historical Society, Gonzales,
TX.
The cemetery is on a mesquite hill some 3/4 mile from the site of Old Albuquerque, a Post Office
1870-1883. The land belongs (at the time of publication) to Mrs. Byron Johnson (nee Beatrice
McCracken). The cemetery is not on a public road, but is in the middle of a pasture. It can be
reached by following F.M. 1681 between Nixon and #123, and taking any one of several dirt
roads in an easterly direction. An iron gate in east-west fence line of property belonging to Miss
Karon Mac Smith gives access to "sendero" to iron gate in fence that separates Smith and
Johnston land and second "sendero" to burial ground.
This is a list of the known dead buried there. All gaves have been marked except that of Lycurgis
McCracken, for which search of Confederate record is still being made. Miss McCrackens' notes
are added and are designated thus ( ).
