Windcrest, Texas Cemeteries


Beuche Cemetery - 404 Crestway

- This cemetery has been designated a Historic Texas Cemetery by the Texas Historical Commission and was officially dedicated as such Saturday, October 19, 2002.
- The cemetery was established in 1892 by A. L. Bueche and has been maintained by his decedents. It is located on part of the original family farm. The Bueche family immigrated from Switzerland in the 1800's and settled the area that was then known as Fratt. C. W. Ackermann, a son-in-law, bought the farm in 1902 and set aside a parcel of the property as a cemetery. Among those buried here is his son, Frank, the first Bexar County Deputy Sheriff killed in the line of duty in modern time. Also, his other son, Alfred, who farmed the property until his death. He was also an original incorporator of the City of Windcrest. (Information courtesy of Don Ackerman)
