Clausner Cemetery near West, McClennan Co., TX

Clausner Cemetery near West, McClennan Co., TX 
NOTE: Some stones were barely legible, many were written in German or
Czech. You will find several spellings for the same surname in this
cemetery, I copied them as they were on the headstone even when I knew
them to be incorrect spellings. 

The cemetery is in good condition and it looks like there is a cemetery
association to take care of it. I found no damaged stones and it looked
as though a few of the stones had been replaced due to aging. 

If you have questions about the families listed here, please contact me at:
