Windcrest, Bexar County

Marker Text

Swiss immigrants Abram Louis (1824-1921) and Anna Barbara (Kaderli) (1825-1905) Bueche, and family, settled in this area, known as Fratt, in 1854. Their infant granddaughter, Frieda A. Bueche, died in 1892 and is said to be the first buried at this site one-half mile east of their homestead. In 1902, when son-in-law Chris W. Ackermann (1855-1936) and wife, Emma (1863-1921), bought the Bueche farm, C.W. set aside this tract of land for a cemetery. Among those laid to rest here is their son, Frank (1883-1937), Bexar Co. deputy sheriff, killed in the line of duty. Descendants maintain this site that chronicles the heritage of the Bueche family and the Fratt community. Historic Texas Cemetery - 2002
