Surprisingly, I recognized a few of the names on the grave markers. This particular cemetery is very well maintained and clean. Not sure why this surprised me.

As often as I'm in Yoakum visiting Mom, I try to swing by to pay my respects. The grounds are very well maintained, and there is a gazebo and park benches in which to rest. For other historical sites in Hochheim, there is the Masonic Lodge, which you much drive past in order to get to the cemetery. Don't pass on this hidden treasure.

The location is very easy to find as it is on the outskirts of town as your headed toward Hallettsville. The actual buildings and cemetery are very well maintained as I have no difficulty finding the plots I'm searching for. Oddly enough, the mausoleum never seems to be unlocked when I visit. An air of peace and tranquility exude the premises while discoursing through the area.

I was out-of-town on the day she passed away nineteen years ago and never did go out to pay my respects. She was a mother-figure of sorts and never could work up the strength to go visit. Today was finally the day to do so. Strangely enough, finding her family plot wasn't very difficult. After standing over her plot praying to the Great Creator, I wandered the remainder of the cemetery. What a beautiful parcel of land! Now I can retire this evening knowing I finally fulfilled a long-awaited desire to see my special friend once again.

As an interest grew in family genealogy, I discovered my great-great-grandparents and a few cousins are buried within the borders of this hallowed ground. As my curiosity was piqued, I also realized a few friends are also interred here. The grounds are huge and well maintained. There is a covered space for services, if that is how one wishes to conduct the funeral. Then there are several multi-person mausoleums. I really enjoyed the beauty and history of Saint Joseph's Cemetery.
