(1-18-2009) Enlarge New Texas Historical Marker for Jeff Davis Hospital.
 
This marker was dedicated and photo taken January 18, 2009 and is in front of the Old Jeff Davis Hospital. The site contains hundreds of Confederate graves and was built with an above-ground basement due to opposition from living CSA veterans not wishing the graves of their comrades to be disturbed.
 
Not mentioned on the plaque is the CSA General Hospital located very close, along with a camp of instruction and the railroad tracks. Literally hundreds of CSA troops are buried here. Most died of disease.

The roof area was open during the dedication of the historical marker on January 18, 2009. The CSA area and 1st National Flag can be seen inside the Houston Fire Dept facility in a photo taken from the roof of the Old Jeff Davis Hospital. This area was at one time a children's play area for the hospital, but is now closed.
