Juan Seguin - Seguin, TX - Out of Place Graves on Waymarking.com

During the Texas Revolution he was a prominent figure that aided in the victory of many battles. Seguin was respected as an important individual, because of his ability to speak Spanish as well as English, which made him an asset in acquiring Texas' independence.

Early in 1839, a settlement thirty-five miles east of San Antonio that had been formed by Texas Rangers from Gonzales voted to name the town Seguin in his honor. Later that year he was honored by parade and feast in the small community in celebration.

He died in 1890 in Nuevo, Laredo, Mexico. His remains were returned to Seguin, TX in September, 1974. His body was reinterred with special honors on July 4, 1976, by the City of Seguin and Seguin Bicentennial Commission.
