While camped near Old Austin in 1862, a large group of Texas and Arkansas Confederate soldiers were overcome by an epidemic of typhoid and black measles, causing the deaths of around 1,500 soldiers. In 1907, the remains were moved to Camp Nelson Confederate Cemetery which is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
