College Station Cemetery 2530 Texas Avenue South | 979.764.5049 | cstx.gov/cemeteries The College Station Cemetery was created in 1948 from 31 acres bought near the Shiloh community, approximately two miles south of Texas A&M on Highway 6. That tract surrounded an existing cemetery, which had been deeded to the Methodist Church in 1870 by W.G. and Josephine Rector. The A&M Methodist Church, in 1948, turned over those four acres to College Station to be incorporated into the city cemetery. In 1973, the cemetery was decreased in size when the city decided to designate 18 of the acres for the creation of Bee Creek Park. fieldofhonor.cstx.gov cstx.gov/cemeteries 28 Register online at rectrac.cstx.gov or visit Stephen C.
