The ranch included a chapel and a cemetery and when Juana met her demise in 1856, from being gored by a pet deer, she became the first resident. Since then over 60,000 people have been buried in Concordia.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/thetravellingfool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Cemetery_20Gates-XL.jpg\" alt=\"Concordia Cemetery, El Paso Texas Buffalo Soldiers\" width=\"1023\" height=\"678\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 20px;\">Concordia tells the history of the city and the old west and if you listen real hard, you can hear the stories of those who are buried here. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/PasoDelNorteParanormalSociety\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Paso Del Norte Paranormal Society <\/a>operates ghost tours in the cemetery where some say the cemetery is haunted and even claim to have captured photographic evidence of spirits.

Veterans from the Civil War both the Confederacy and The Grand Army of the Republic along with US Cavalry, WW1 and WW2, Korea and Vietnam are all buried here. Of the military, there are over 40 <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Buffalo_Soldier\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Buffalo Soldiers<\/a> buried at Concordia cemetery. The Buffalo soldier was the nickname given to the black soldiers of the 10th Cavalry and later the 9th Cavalry, 24th and 25th Infantry Regiments by Native American tribes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/thetravellingfool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Buffalo_20Soldiers-XL.jpg\" alt=\"Buffalo Soldiers Concordia Cemetery El Paso Texas\" width=\"1024\" height=\"410\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 20px;\">Concordia cemetery is also the resting place of lawmen, Texas Rangers and Moses Carson the younger brother of scout Kit Carson. <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Pascual_Orozco\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Pascual Orozco<\/a>, a leader of the Mexican revolution was temporarily buried in Concordia as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/thetravellingfool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/John_20Wesley_20Hardin_20tomb-XL.jpg\" alt=\"John Wesley Hardin Grave Concordia Cemetery El Paso Texas\" width=\"1023\" height=\"678\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 20px;\">By far the most famous or infamous resident of Concordia is <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/John_Wesley_Hardin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">John Wesley Hardin<\/a>. Born in Bonham Texas in 1853, Hardin seemed to be in trouble with the law most of his life. Born to a Methodist preacher, Hardin killed his first man when he was only 15 years old. Hardin was a cowboy, gunslinger, poker player and later in life a lawyer. In 1871, awaken from a drunken stupor, Hardin fired several shots through a wall in an attempt to wake up a snoring man in the adjacent room. One of the bullets struck the man and killed him. In 1871 Hardin was arrested for the murder of Waco City Marshall, Laban John Hoffman but later escaped custody. In 1874 Hardin killed Brown County Texas Deputy Sheriff Charles Webb after Webb tried to arrest him in a saloon. In 1877 Hardin was tracked to Pensacola Florida by Texas Rangers where he was finally arrested and was sentenced to 25 years in prison. While in prison he studied law and after being pardoned in 1894 passed the bar. Hardin relocated to El Paso and when not playing cards worked as an attorney. Known as a crack shot, Hardin would often shoot a business card then sign it for people wanting his autograph. Hardin claimed to have killed 42 men but most accounts say it was more like 27, still a pretty prolific gunman.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/thetravellingfool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/John_20Wesley_20Hardin_20State_20Marker-XL.jpg\" alt=\"John Wesley Hardin Historical Marker\" width=\"1023\" height=\"678\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 20px;\">In 1895, after an argument over the arrest of a friend of Hardin\u2019s for brandishing a gun in public, Hardin pistol whipped El Paso lawman John Selman Jr. Later that afternoon Constable John Selman Sr, himself a former <a href=\"https:\/\/thetravellingfool.com\/coffeyville-kansas-small-town-big-history\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">notorious gunman<\/a> walked into a saloon where Hardin was playing cards and shot him in the back of the head and then shot him three more times. Selman\u2019s trial resulted in a hung jury and before he could be retried Selman was killed in a shootout with US Marshal George Scarborough over an argument about a card game. Card games where no joke in the old west. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/thetravellingfool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/John_20Selman_20grave-XL.jpg\" alt=\"John Selman Grave El Paso Texas\" width=\"1023\" height=\"678\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 20px;\">Today the grave of John Wesley Hardin is marked with a <a href=\"https:\/\/thetravellingfool.com\/look-first-college-town-texas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Texas State Historical Marker<\/a> and is fenced and secured by a lock since people in the past have wanted souvenirs.

According to local paranormal experts the children\u2019s section is one of the more haunted areas of the cemetery.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/thetravellingfool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/cemetery_20grounds-XL.jpg\" alt=\"Concordia Cemetery El Paso Texas\" width=\"1023\" height=\"678\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 20px;\">Concordia Cemetery is home to those that made El Paso and Texas old west.
