Born in Virginia in 1793, he brought the first 300 Anglo-American colonists to Texas in 1821. Austin became known as the "Father of Texas."

Shortly after his appointment as Secretary of State of the Republic of Texas, Austin died of pneumonia.

He was buried at Peach Point, Texas, in 1836, and his remains were brought to the Cemetery in 1910 by act of Governor O. B. Colquirt. The bronze sculpture was completed the same year by Pompeo Coppini.
