| Immanuel Lutheran Church Cemetery | LaVernia. Historical Marker : "This cemetery traces its beginnings to the formation of Immanuel Lutheran Church of LaVernia, which began in 1901.

Members built a fence and held a formal dedication. The first burial was for Gabriele Hedwig Koepp, infant daughter of Franz and Augusta Koepp, in October 1902. Also buried here are early community and church leaders, and a number of military veterans from conflicts dating to World War I..." | Cemetery Survey | ||

| Nockenut Cemetery | North East County. Historical Marker : "The community of Nockenut began in 1857, when a number of German and Polish immigrants settled in this area. Originally located in Guadalupe County, it became part of Wilson County after a boundary change in 1869. A post office opened in 1858 and by 1890 Nockenut was a thriving village with a population of 80. At is height, the town boasted homes, stores, a school, a church, a wagon yard, a cotton gin, and a cemetery. The origin of the town's name is the subject of several oral history accounts, most of which refer to variations on names of local trees. Nockenut began to decline after the Galveston, Harrisburg and San Antonio Railroad bypassed it in 1906. By the end of the 20th century, the cemetery was the last physical reminder of the community." The Nockenut Cemetery opened in 1870 with the burial of Anna Maria Johnson Callander. The Hobbs Family dedicated this land and the burial ground that year. | Tombstone Photos | ||

| Polley Family Cemetery | FM Road 539N. Historical Marker : "Joseph Henry Polley (1795-1869) was born in Whitehall, New York to Jonathan and Rachel Hubbard Polley. He later moved to Missouri, where he was a friend of Moses Austin, with whom he traveled to Texas in 1820. The next year, he returned to Texas with Stephen F. Austin as one of the original "Old 300" colonists. Polley settled in the Brazoria District and wed Mary Augusta Bailey, daughter of pioneer Brit Bailey. The couple built a home that they name Whitehall. Polley served as sheriff and assisted retreating settlers during the runaway scrape, 1836; Mary helped mold candles for use by the first Texas Congress. Polley moved his family in 1847 to this area, then a part of Guadalupe County. The family established a cemetery at this site in 1848. When Emeline Elizabeth Polley James, one of the eleven Polley children, died while giving birth, two years later, her daughter of the same name was interred next to her. The family completed the Whitehall home about 1850. Over the years, several family members, including Joseph Henry Polley, were laid to rest in the cemetery. Mary Bailey Polley (d. 1888), the family matriarch, was the last to be buried here." From Sutherland Springs, take FM 539 N. approx 2 - 3 mi.

| Stockdale Cemetery | Stockdale. Historical Marker : "Before the Stockdale Cemetery was begun in the 1870s, most burials in the area took place in private, family graveyards. About 1873, however, a young man who was not related to any of the local settlers was thrown from his horse and killed. To provide a place for his burial, Dr. T.M. Batte gave one acre of land at this site, and the burial ground has been used by Stockdale citizens since that time. Additional acreage was purchased in 1881 and 1904, and in 1938 area resident Paul Ballard donated an acre of land for use by anyone who did not have a family plot and needed a place for burial. The earliest marked grave in the Stockdale Cemetery, that of Sallie A. Pope, is dated 1873. Many early settlers are buried here, including the town's founder, John R. King, and the first schoolteacher, Martin West. The cemetery also contains the graves of numerous war veterans and victims of a post-World War I flu epidemic...." | Tombstone Photos | ||

| Wheeler Cemetery # 1 | Stockdale. The Wheeler Cemetery is located approximately five miles southwest of Stockdale in Wilson County. It is in a pasture about 1000 feet south of County Road 312. The land containing the Wheeler Cemetery was originally owned by John Edwin Wheeler, then sold to his brother, David Thwing (D. T.) Wheeler in the 1860s. It was here that D. T. lived and worked the land with his large family for several decades. D. T. and John also operated the Wheeler Mill on the Cibolo River, located close to the family home about one-half mile east of the cemetery. Having no public cemetery available at the time, D. T. set aside the plot on his farm for family burials. His second wife, Maniza and daughter, Lela, were among the first to be buried here in 1863. D. T.’s father, John, having brought the family to Texas in 1840, was buried here in 1867. D. T. and his third wife, Mary Watson, were buried here in February, 1892. His first wife, Mary E. Allen died of Cholera, with her infant, in San Antonio. They are believed to be buried in that city. The Wheeler and Butler families were close neighbors owning adjacent tracts of land, and developed a kinship when D. T. Wheeler’s daughter, Lenora Angelina (Angie) Wheeler married John Crittenden (J. C.) Butler in December of 1874. J. C. Butler died in June of 1892 and was the first member of the Butler family to be buried here. Thereafter the cemetery was sometimes known as “Wheeler-Butler Cemetery.” Other families with relatives buried in the cemetery are that of Allison, Carmichael, Harrell, and Lambert. In early 2008, the Wheeler, Butler, and Allison descendents formed the “Wheeler-Butler Cemetery Association” for the purpose of renovating and maintaining the cemetery. | |||
| Wheeler Cemetery # 2 | Stockdale. This small cemetery, consisting of only two known burials, is located off Highway 87 (SE Main Street) about one mile southeast of downtown Stockdale. It sits in a pasture on private property near the last home of Daniel Milner and Lavinia Hunter Wheeler, who are interred here. The Wheelers moved to Wilson County in the early 1880s, to be near their daughter, Emma Moore. Their entire married lives had been spent in Matagorda County, Texas where they parented eleven children. Tragically, nine of the children died at early ages, leaving only two surviving daughters by the time the Wheelers moved to Wilson County. Through the years there have been scattered reports that slaves might also have been buried in the plot. There are no other grave markers or evidence to support the existence of additional burials in the cemetery. | |||
