My direct family members said that Richard Edward Carta was buried at this cemetery and there is no record of his grave being moved and there is no record of him being anywhere else. Another branch of the family records Maggie Beckett's death as follows. "Margaret Elizabeth Beckett-Carta was buried in Del Rio, TX on Spring Street. Her services were held at the 1st Baptist Church on Spring Street but the graveyard has been covered over." (Patsy York). NOTE: The church listed today on 201 Spring street is called the Victory Baptist Church. The Val Verde County Historical Commission does record the that the 1st Baptist Church was also located on Spring Street for period during this time. This story collaborates my family's accounts for her husband RE Carta's burial but stated a church now sits on their place burial which is located across from the main Library.

In 1930 the First United Methodist Church relocated and built their new Church on this location. It is stated by the Val Verde Historical Commission that some of the graves were relocated but some where not. Also, the adjoining street name was changed to Pecan street from Cemetery Street. The Church stated that their historical documents that are stored in the basement are now being archived so perhaps in the near future their will be some record of who was relocated, who was not, and to where were they relocated. They now have one of the biggest and most beautiful monuments ever, the beautiful Methodist Church.
