The Texas Historical Marker here says 'the workers on El Fronton de Santa Isabel Ranch began to use this site as a burial ground as early as the 1840s. No grave markers from that time period survive, however, and the oldest marked graves in the cemetery date to the 1880s.'

The Texas Historical Commission (visit link) says this cemetery was established in the 1840s and contains over 593 graves. It's 0.95 acres.

Find-A-Grave (visit link) lists 886 interments with photographs for 73% of those listed.
