Surveyed by John and Maria Montalvo Graham.

From Raymondville, Texas take US 77 South through Lyford and before reaching Sebastian turn right (east) on FM 1018 . Continue on the paved FM 1018 until it ends at a _T_ intersection with another paved FM road (number not noted). Continue straight ahead (east) in a gravel road which will shortly begin to run along side the north levee of the International Boundary Commission's floodway. The next intersection is Old Alice Stage Road where you have a choice of turning left on the Old Stage Road, turning right up on or over the levee, or going straight ahead on a dirt track along the base of the levee. This track, if followed alongside the levee, will lead you to the Sabino Cemetery. However, it is largely unimproved and would probably be difficult going in wet weather. Instead, turn right up the levee slope and left on the single lane gravel road atop the levee. Follow this road a few hundred yards until you see the cemetery on the left, below the levee. A gravel road leads down the levee side toward the old Rancho Sabino. A dirt track at the bottom of the levee leads into a field to the Cavazos Family Cemetery.
  The cemetery is fenced and, when we transcribed it (May 10, 2002), was neat and clean. It is the burial place for a couple of generations of the Cavazos family, descendants of Jose Narsico Cavazos, impresario and Grantee of the San Juan de Carrisitos Land Grant in the late 1700s. Our transcription is listed in the order we encountered the monuments. We did not attempt to copy various inscriptions on the stones. Dates were mostly in Spanish, but have been translated here into English. Where the monuments were double stones, or were otherwise known by Maria to be associated, we listed them together or noted the relationship.
