Another Cemetery on the Eastside of downtown San Antonio whose condition continues to get worst is City Cemetery #3. It is the City Cemetery on the Northern edge of St. Mary Catholic Cemetery and the Lutheran Cemetery. The Cemetery doesn't have a problem with weeds or overgrowth of brush, but a problem with vandals. It seems to be a pass through for people coming and going to New Braunfels Street on the Eastern edge of the cemetery. There are several missing and broken stones. The cemetery is kept mowed down by the city, I often wonder if the grass cutters knock over any stones while doing this. My great grandmother Lucinda Taylor Hasdorff (died 1911) and my great great grandfather Michael Gensweider/Gensweiler (died 1893) are buried in the Cemetery. I have never been able to find their graves. I found them listed in the Sexton Burial Records(Sexton were the ones who dug the graves for the city in the early days). It states they both are buried there. In the Sexton records Lucinda's name is spelled "Haisdorff". The records show the plot and section numbers. I called the City Parks Dept. to find out if they had records of their burials but they said they found no such people with their names listed in the cemetery records. They offered me to come down and view their cemetery listing. The City Parks Dept. also said their list might not be accurate. They faxed me a copy of the map of the cemetery with the section and plot numbers, but the numbers in no way matched the numbers given by the Sexton Burial Records. My great grandmother Lucinda Hasdorff's obituary and death certificate also states she is buried in City Cemetery #3. I am certain with proof of the Sexton records, the death certificate and the obituary she is buried there. My great grandfather Christoph Hasdorff died in 1917 and was buried in the San Antonio National Cemetery a few blocks away, he fought in the Civil War. I had thought possibly she was disentered and reentered to be buried next to him, but I have not found any records to support that theory. I would love to find their grave locations. I have found all my other paternal great grandparents in the Eastside Cemeteries but them. I have other paternal great grandparents buried in the Lutheran Cemetery (Mary Gensweiler Black Herbsleb), St. Mary Catholic Cemetery (Joseph Black) and the San Antonio National Cemetery (Christoph Hasdorff). Has anyone else had problems locating graves in City Cemetery #3? Does anyone have any suggestions to this kind of problem? Thank you, Ron Hesdorff [email protected] San Antonio, TX
