brush. |

Felis Santos, died on June 27 of 1924, age 21)
Although his death date looks like it could be June 29, the Index to Death Records,
Texas, 1903-1940 gives his death date as June 27.
Also, in the death index his
first name is anglicized to Felix.

Fenced Burial 1
The grave site in the best condition in this section. In the near end are two
metal crosses, large and small, perhaps a mother and child.
Outside the far
end of the enclosure, but not visible in this image, is another large iron
cross.
