This is an old small family cemetery, located in the Spring Branch area. The Comal County Genealogy Society booklet "Lest We Forget" (1989) lists this cemetery as the "Gus Rust Family Cemetery" on page 120, with an inventory of but three marked graves and one unmarked grave. The cemetery is found north of FM-311 just north of where it crosses the Guadalupe River (formerly known as Esser's Crossing). As of 2017, the cemetery can be reached from FM-311 by Rust Road and then Rivers End Road into the River Pointe sub-division (which is a gated community and thus limited access). The Comal County Appraisal District lists the cemetery as a separate property (ID# 130437), owned by the River Pointe POA (so permission is needed to visit), including an easement out to Rivers End Rd. The cemetery is not marked on the county map series published by the Texas Dept. Of Transportation. It is listed on the GNIS list of cemeteries in Comal County as the "Rust Cemetery", with GPS coordinates that are approximately correct. This of course causes confusion with three other "Rust family" cemeteries in the county. The GPS coordinates given here in Find-a-Grave are more precise, having been measured on-site.
