Based on the Texas Historical Commission listing, I was only looking for one grave and easily found the dilapidated brick boveda (crypt) about 4 feet by 8 feet and 5 feet high. Later, I learned that there may an unmarked grave near the boveda as well as other graves in the brush, 60 feet to the east on the other side of the dirt track.
