Brothers Herman and Heinrich Strack came to Texas from Feudingen, Germany in 1848 with their families. By the mid-1850s, they were joined by their brothers Johann Jost, Friedrich, and Jakob along with their respective families. In 1863, Herman bought land that included a pre-existing burial ground later owned by Friedrich and Jakob. The burial ground became known as the Strack Cemetery. Graves of military veterans buried in Strack Cemetery date to the Civil War. Today, Strack family descendants manage the site through an association. (Designated as a Historic Texas Cemetery in 2004.)

Found this family cemetery tucked in the woods behind Vineyard Christian Fellowship of Spring Harris County, Texas. Road to it was overgrown and gated. Church ladies gave me permission to walk thru their property to search it out. Fenced cemetery is locked; all pix taken
