HOWEVER, please note the following from the text of the El Paso Story, pg 129, on that same site: "James T. Hewitt was appointed the first sexton January 17, 1863 and continued until November 16, 1891. He was a bachelor and lived alone in the southeast part of El Paso, and during his absence on February 21, 1890, his home burned and the only book with the earliest burial records was destroyed." If there were no marker, or if it was destroyed before the current records were "recreated" from existing markers, they would probably not be listed. Church records or newspaper obituaries may still exist to confirm their burial there, but it would probably be difficult to pinpoint the exact burial location. Pages 390 and 391 have some listings for Meyers and Maiyer with geneological information.
