Their markers are gone, but the people are still there.  These two
cemeteries are "deeded out" in all the deed records and listed at the Bexar
County Courthouse in records of purchase by Sam Schmid and John Kincaid.
Could you put them on your list to ensure the areas don't get disturbed any
further.  Both the Martin Schmid Family Cemetery in Bexar County and the
David G. Kincaid Cemetery in Bexar County.  The Texas Historical Commission
has approved a marker to stand at the spot of the Schmid Cemetery and also
references the Kincaid Cemetery 100 yards away.  These two cemeteries lie in
Bexar County in Selma, Texas.  I submitted this information to the San
Antonio Genealogical and Historical Society on Isom Road as well as to the
USGS Map Service in Denver, Colorado.
