Atascosa Co., TX - Cemeteries - Shiloh Cemetery *********************************************** This file was contributed for use in the USGenWeb Archives by: "Jeneal Duke" Copyright. All rights reserved. http://www.usgwarchives.net/copyright.htm *********************************************** Shiloh Cemetery, 1857 Atascosa Co., TX From San Antonio, Hwy 281S to FM 1470. Turn right (west) and go 1.9 miles to Shiloh Road (unpaved). Turn left and go 0.5 mile to the cemetery on the left. Established in 1857. I have visited with Mr. Paul Williams, age 90. A large number of the graves belong to his family and he is able to provide more information than the headstones tell (i.e., relationships, cause of death, maiden names, etc.). The neighbors and their families have an annual picnic in a pavilion at the cemetery every May. Updated April 26, 2003. This is a work in progress.
