We were there to find my husband's great grandfather's grave. I had the section and tier number. The sections were confusing, and I never understood the tier numbering. What I had was Section J, Tier 1. The map only showed numbers, and the signs marking the sections were off the wall. It went from A, and next to it would...

I went when they had the historical tour. At the entrance, I was given a map. People were dressed in period costumes and stayed in character. Each told the story of his life. It painted a picture of olden times and life in El Paso. Especially good was the John Hardin character-right out of old west history; he was excellent!...

I've visited Concordia many times through the years and I've watched it lately as it's been cleaned up and markers fixed.

He's kept company by...

Historical. A few infamous people buried here. Be sure to visit the grave of John W. Harding!
Likely named by emigrants from Concordia, Missouri, who emigrated there from Germany. This wonderful cemetery is bound by Yandell, US54, I-10, and Stevens. It is continually being upgraded and maintained throughout the year, and is fantastic! Regular "ghost" tours are, as well as other tours and special openings. I have pedaled there without any special occasion, and have viewed the...
