Add PhotosOn August 25, 1958 Joe Cole reported: "Farnold Family Cemetery. On the old Vince Petras farm which is owned by Mr. Henry Mazoch at the present time are 7 graves of the Farnold [sic, Fahrenthold] family. I did not learn much of the Farnhold's; only they owned the farm at one time. I was directed to these graves by Mr. Gus Petras who is the son of Vinc Petras. He told me his age was 67 years and that the graves were there before his time." This site is in the vicinity of FM 155 & West Sedan Road, between Holman & Weimar.
The following additional information comes from Sally Fahrenthold: August Fahrenthold married Auguste Emma Fiebig in Fayette County on April 26, 1861. Auguste died on March 2, 1876 and August married Minna Langfeld on May 25, 1880. In a July 13, 1881 Inventory and Appraisement of the Community Estate of August Fahrenthold and his deceased wife, Auguste Fahrenthold, the community property list includes real estate of 58 acres in the Austin League worth $580 and 75 acres in the J. Burnham League worth $225. Both properties were in Fayette County. Personal property includes engine and boiler, cotton press, cotton gin, saw mill and corn mill, 30 cattle, 2 horses, one mule, etc.
On December 28, 1888 August Fahrenthold sold land he had bought from John T. Holman in 1876 and 1880 to Thos. A. Hill. The deed states, "Said August Farenthold hereby reserves the right to fence and care for a space 50 X 50 to include the family graveyard, and to visit the same at his pleasure for twenty years." [in the H. Austin Survey, Vol 34, p 123]
Then on January 1, 1891 T. A. Hill sold to Leopold Bordovsky the same parcel of land (96 3/10 acres). The deed concludes "A public school house on the place and the Fahrenthold graveyard is reserved and the right of Fahrenthold to visit said graveyard and keep same in repair for the space of eighteen years is especially retained." [Vol 42, p 72]
August Fahrenthold died in Hallettsville, Lavaca County, on May 23, 1900 and was buried in the city cemetery there. The property had been sold to Frank Cernosek in 1893, again in 1902 to Vincent Petras, then it passed to Gus Petras, then to Henry Mazoch in 1938 and then to Alma Mazoch who owned it in 1973 when a road was widened. Members of the Fahrenthold family have attempted to locate the cemetery in recent years, but have been unsuccessful.
