*FAIGAUX OVERVIEW

Faigaux Cemetery
Comal County,
Texas

This is an old small family cemetery, located west of Stahl Lane in the area known as Bulverde East. It is reported to contain the marked grave of Friederich Faigaux and the unmarked grave of his wife. The Comal County Genealogy Society booklet "Lest We Forget" (1989) on page 129 indicates only one marked grave was found at that time. The cemetery is not marked on the county map series by the Texas Department Of Transportation.

The cemetery is fenced with a cast-iron fence, approximately 9' x 9' with a hinged gate on the eastern side. Surrounding this is a short stacked-rock wall (approximately 15' x 15') with a gap on the eastern side corresponding to the gate. One obelisk-style gravestone is found, centered between the north and south sides but closer to the west side, with the eastern face engraved with the name of Friederich H. Faigaux. A pronounced grave-sized depression is seen on the right (south) side, although only minor depressions are seen on the left (north) side. It appears that the spacing is designed for two graves, lying to each side of the stone, feet facing east.
