MOSIAC CEMETERY, San Augustine County, Texas, was surveyed and transcribed on November 11, 2009.  Mosiac is an African American cemetery located on the edge of the city of San Augustine; the name is spelled"Mosiac" - not "Mosaic" - on the sign at the corner.  DIRECTIONS:  On US96 just north of the junction with SR21, where FM711 crosses the highway, take a quick left (just before 711) on Crockett Street. (there is a sign at the corner)  At the end of the street, go right and up the hill; the road ends at the cemetery.

     I was there on Veteran's Day, and was surprised to see so many veteran's markers.  Since I am a 22-year Navy Veteran, I pay close attention to these markers.

     I estimate that the burials listed below represent about half of the total recognizable graves.  There are many unmarked graves, broken slabs, depressions and mounds in the cemetery; many flat markers have disappeared into the red clay soil, and a number of upright markers are sinking.  I had to excavate two dozen markers in order to read
the bottom half of the engravings.
(fhm) indicates a metal funeral home marker. Military service information was taken from Veterans Markers.
