CEMENTERIO SOTELO 

Sotelo Cemetery is an old family cemetery located in Pleasanton, Atascosa
County, Texas.  If you are traveling from San Antonio, take 1-37 South
towards Corpus Christi.  Take the 97 exit and go West towards Pleasanton.
Travel 1.4 miles until you come to Corgey Road.  Make a left on Corgey road.
After you have traveled 0.2 miles on Corgey road, on your right, you will
see a gate with "Cementerio Sotelo" written on top of the gate.

There are two, very old, mausoleums at Sotelo Cemetery. One is near the
entrance of the gate and the other is next to a tree, where the original
Sotelo family members are buried.  I do not know who is buried in the
mausoleums. Any information would be appreciated.  Also, there is an old
"unidentified headstone" buried away from the rest of the graves.  The
headstone is unreadable.

The first burial appears to be of Rita de la Luz Emeteria Delgado Sotelo
(1866).  Wife of Ignacio, Sr., mother of Ignacio, II, and grandmother of
Ignacio B.

This information was compiled by Andrew Robles and Christina Robles on June
18, 2001, by transcribing the information off of the tombstones.  

Much appreciation is given to Robert Lee Tarin, Jr. for the information he
provided on the dates of birth, dates of death and relationship regarding
the Sotelo family, whose tombstones were very hard to read because they were
old.

It is important to note that the old section of the cemetery is to the left
of the gate entrance.
