S. Fredericca Hummel, a German immigrant who arrived in San Antonio in 1847, rests here in the Alamo Masonic Cemetery. Her story, marked by the oldest remaining headstone, is just one of many within these hallowed grounds. Chartered in 1848, Alamo Lodge Number 44, Ancient Free and Accepted Masons established this cemetery. They saw a need for a dedicated burial place for fellow Masons. The first Masonic burial, however, was for Charles Taplin, a Missourian, who died in 1855. The Alamo Masonic Cemetery is more than just a resting place for Masons. It reflects San Antonio’s history, filled with the graves of immigrants who made this city their home in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Each headstone whispers stories of journeys made and lives lived. They paint a poignant picture of the city’s vibrant past and the diverse community that built it. As you walk through these peaceful rows, take a moment to reflect on the lives remembered here. The Alamo Masonic Cemetery stands as a testament to San Antonio’s rich history, a place where stories of the past echo through time.
