The 52-acre Concordia Cemetery is the final resting place for more than 60,000 El Paso residents. Weathered tombstones, some dating to 1857, create a somber scene in the shadow of the Franklin Mountains. The graveyard is a small part of the once-sprawling Concordia Ranch, established in 1840 by trader Hugh Stephenson and his wealthy Mexican-born wife, Juana Maria Ascarate Stephenson.
