Mager Cemetery - Beyersville,
Williamson County, Texas
1 mile south of Beyersville on the west side of FM 1466
Mager Cemetery - Reinhold
Mager (1863-1930), a native of Brandenburg, Germany, came to Texas and
married Franziska Krueger (1868-1951), a native of the Dessau community in
nearby Travis County, Texas. The Magers donated one acre of their 150 acres
of land here in Williamson County for this cemetery and a school. The first
known burial, that of Albert C. Mager, took place in 1900. Many of the
tombstones bear inscriptions in German, and 14 mark the graves of infants.
Burials in the cemetery ceased after the interment of Franziska Mager in
1951. The 55 known grave sites are testament to the area's 20th-century
German heritage. (2000)
