College Station Cemetery 2530 Texas Avenue South | 979.764.5049 | cstx.gov/cemeteries The College Station Cemetery was created in 1948 from thirty-one 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 eighteen of the acres for the creation of Bee Creek Park. fieldofhonor.cstx.gov cstx.gov/cemeteries 24 Register online at rectrac.cstx.gov or visit Stephen C.
