The San Fernando Cemetery 2 has its main entrance at 746 Castroville Road, San Antonio, TX (or 29.41682 -98.55268). The former main entrance was at the corner of the intersection of Cupples Road and Castroville Road, but over time the city expanded and the traffic flow no longer could facilitate a corner entry, so its main entrance was moved to the middle of the cemetery along Castroville Road for safety reasons.
Once in the cemetery, follow the GPS map to the east edge if the cemetery that is bounded by Cupples Road. It is in this older part of the cemetery where this Woodmen of the World memorial headstone is found near an old oak tree growing near the cemetery's boundary fence along Cupples Road. The tree-like monument has its Woodmen of the World crest inscribed at the top part of the memorial, below which is the scroll area where the name and dates about Sebastian Llanes are engraved. However, there is another family member's name and dates added below the regular scroll area, but before the base stone is reached. Also, there are two black and white ceramic oval photographs incorporated into the top of the scroll area. The left photo is of Sebastian Llanes and the photo on the right is of his relative, Joe F. Llanes. the two photos are separated by an engraved Christian Cross centered between the photos.
The main scroll contains the the following information:

Below the main scroll, the stone of this WOW memorial marker has been altered to allow the addition of Joe F. Llanes, who was born two years before Sebastian Llanes' death.( It would be reasonable to assume that Joe F. Llanes is the son of Sebastian Llanes.)
