1. Bueche Cemetery Marker

Inscription. 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

Fratt was a flag station on the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railroad six miles north of downtown San Antonio in northern Bexar County. The community was first settled by German farmers before 1900. In the mid-1930s Fratt had a general store, a church, and a station house. Its population was reported as twenty-five in 1946. The settlement declined after World War II, and by the 1960s it was no longer shown on maps.
