Quintana Cemetery

One of the last physical reminders of the early Texas seaport of Quintana, Quintana Cemetery began as the family burial ground of Henry and Josephine Seaburn, who started homebuilding and shipbuilding businesses there in the days of the Republic of Texas. The cemetery's earliest known use dates to 1846, when the Seaburns' infant child died and was buried near their home. That child's grave marker and many others in the historic cemetery were lost over time to natural forces and development. The oldest remaining tombstone, belonging to Louisa Powlis Brown, is dated 1851, and the last burial in Quintana Cemetery took place in 1942.
