     These pictures were taken last year, '07 and March '08. The pictures are 
of the little store that used to serve the families of the Comal,Texas area,  
the Little St. Joseph's Chapel up and across from the cemetery.  The 8 Mile 
Cemetery, part of Saints Peter & Paul Catholic Church, from New Braunfels, 
Texas.

     My mothers' family members are buried in this cemetery. Her grandparents 
Sabas and Sotera Herrera (sometimes spelled Errera), her aunts, Anita Herrera 
and Gregoria Salas.  Gregoria Salas was married to my mom's uncle Plutarco 
Herrera.  Mom's uncle Polo Herrera, and brother Domingo Herrera.  If you need 
dates, just let me know.

     There are also pictures of the whole cemetery showing some of the other 
headstones.   

     The original gate was first placed between the two large trees that are 
still there, near the now existing main gate.

     My mom, Gabriela Martinez, says that she remembers going to spend the day 
at the cemetery when she has growing up.  The families would spend the the day 
there cleaning the their family members burial sites. They would travel by 
horse and wagon and after working they would eat beneath the trees before 
going home.
