The Lamar Cemetery lies in an acre of wooded land in Lamar Community, ten miles north of Rockport, Texas, near Goose Island State Park.
In 1838, James W. Byrne and associates bought a league of land on Lookout Point and laid out the townsite of Lamar, named for Mirabeau B. Lamar, then president of the Republic of Texas.
Byrne s family of County Wicklow, Ireland had fled British persecution, and the sons were educated at the University of Belgium. After immigrating to America, Byrne fought the British in the war of 1812.
Byrne married Harriet Odin, a relative of the Rt. Reverend Jean-Marie Odin, the first Catholic Bishop of Texas. After prosperous careers in Ohio and New Orleans, Byrne came to Refugio.
He fought in the Texas Revolution, surviving the Battle of Goliad. He served as Senator in the 5th, 6th and 7th Congresses of the Republic.
With the founding of Lamar, an area was set aside for a cemetery. The oldest grave marker is that of Patrick O Connor (1822-1854), a direct descendent of Roderick O Connor, the last king of Ireland.
O Connor was the New Orleans bookkeeper of James Byrne and was married to his niece, Jane Gregory. O Connor was sent west for his health, but died only hours after arriving in Lamar.
Jane came to Lamar with her infant son and in 1855 bought land on Aransas Bay where she established her school. Families moved to Lamar so their children could attend Mrs. O Connor s famous school.
Harriet Odin Byrne died in Lamar in 1858; Captain Byrne died in Lamar in 1862. He left his interests in Lamar to his granddaughter, Anna Willie Byrne Vineyard. Mrs. Vineyard writes that James Byrne had her burn 12
barrels of personal papers to keep then from the hands of Union soldiers. It is logical that James and Harriet are buried in Lamar, but it cannot be proven.
The earliest known soldier buried in Lamar is John Fagan (1820-1860). In the Texas Revolution, he fought at the battles of Lipantitlan and Goliad. He and his sixteen-year-old daughter Mary both died of pneumonia in May of 1860.
