This marker is located at the 7000 block, forest Pine St in San Antonio. This is a quiet Leon Valley neighborhood near Bandera Road in San Antonio, Texas.







An empty lot sits in front of this very peaceful cemetery. There was a large tree that just stood out. I wonder how many people have sat on the bench under that large tree.
