My love of history is directly related to elementary school. First through fourth grade was at Lockhill Elementary (fifth was at Leon Valley), and I remember the first time I read this historical marker, I felt so proud.

Much of my San Antonio life has revolved around the intersection of Fredericksburg and Huebner. I've been to the site of the original school (likely incredibly old if its the site of the Lacey store), stagecoach stop and the oldest, still standing building (predating Lock Hill itself). I know the history and it's people.

While I don't want to be buried when I pass, if it were to happen, I'd like to I be buried at the Lock Hill Cemetery. I genuinely consider myself a citizen of that very long lost community.
