Or anyone from that county who is familiar with the family cemeteries?

I am pretty sure we never had a County Keeper for Gonzales, CallieKitty. It borders on my county, but I'm not really familiar with them all. What's your question, my friend? Maybe I can find the answer for you.

Tim Dorrycott lives in Gonzales County, I think (maybe Guadalupe?), but travels the surrounding counties quite frequently. Maybe you should PM him as he doesn't appear here quite as often as he used to. His work is keeping him awfully busy, but I know I can get in touch with him if you want me to

Hi Hallie. On a death certificate, the place of burial is Steven's Ranch. I wondered if that is a cemetery on the ranch or if the person was just buried there. It was 1928.

Found a Stephens Cemetery listed in Gonzales County; however, it says Guadalupe next to it. Here is the link: Gonzales County Texas Cemeteries

Here is a listing of an inventory for that cemetery: Stephens Cemetery . You can check to see if the person you are looking for is on it.

I'll see if I can get in touch with Tim. He might (probably) know more than I. I'm familiar with only the ones that are really close to our adjoining county line.

Thanks Hallie. I'll look through that.

Back already. I looked and didn't find the name. Look at this death certificate on family search and tell me where you think he might be buried.

I would have to agree with you. Looks like Steven Ranch, Gonzales County, Texas. Couldn't find anything about parents on Ancestry, either.

Let me try to get in touch with Tim. He might have an idea.

I have one in my county called "Smith Ranch" as burial site. No one, not even the historical society folks know where this is. We think it may be just a single burial on some property that may (or may not) have been called Smith Ranch many years ago.

It may take a while to get in touch with Tim as I know he travels a lot (or used to) for his job.

Have a good one!!!

I wondered if that wasn't the case here too.

No hurry.

Well I tried to locate Stephens Cemetery drove on Hwy 90 up and down. I never found it. According to information I found it is located on Hwy 90A. I got this from a Gonzales County website.

Stephens (Guadalupe) Cemetery
US 90A east toward Shiner, turn right; Dr. Eugene Lauraine property.
