Just outside the small town of Jonah sits this small 2 acre cemetery, just off of busy Highway 29…read more There is no parking lot so you'll have to park directly on the side of the road to gain access. The cemetery is well-maintained and has several designated family plots. This is still an active graveyard for the local residents of Jonah and the latest interment was from 2022. Despite many of the residents in this cemetery being born in the 1800s, everyone here was buried here after 1902. There still appears to be enough room for another 50 graves. The most prominent locally well known name that I found here is Gattis. Moody and Threadgill were a couple of other familiar names. The Texas historical sign at the entrance adds more insight.

Most of the men worked as Texas Rangers during the wild frontier days. I was mainly looking for Rogers Hornsby, the baseball legend, but there are generations of the family buried here.

I was actually surprised to see a large well-manicured cemetery located almost a quater of a mile…read moredown a difficult to drive gravel road just off of Webberville Rd (aka FM-969). I don't recommend driving a small compact car down this single lane rough road because of the unevenness of it. The cemetery has a hundred or more graves, many of which are of the name Hornsby. Two things I noticed, there were quite a number of graves that had the "daughters of the republic" seal on them. The other thing I observed was that there were quite a number of Texas Rangers crosses as well. The cemetery is filled with some figures of local Texas history. And like a lot of graveyards from the 1800s, sadly quite a number of those graves are infants and children. I did find two large stone historical markers, but not a Texas historical sign. There's a sign on the entry gate where you can email questions to. Immediately next-door to the cemetery there's another cemetery called Cementario Mexicano. So if you're looking for a really nice cemetery to visit, I would recommend this place, but be sure to drive an off road vehicle or pick up to get there. The photos below help with the history.

It is a small family cemetery, but it does have one or two names associated with other cemeteries in this area. One name I found was Lawhon, which is the name of another cemetery not far from here (see separate review). The headstones appear to have been cleaned and apparently it is filled with wild flowers in the spring time.

The entrance gate sits across from Camp Mabry on 35th St. Most of this less than half acre cemetery is surrounded by the State school buildings and grounds, but on the south side is residential homes. You can also hear the noise of Mopac just a few hundred yards away. According to the memorial stone at the entrance of the cemetery, there are about 130+ people interred here. However, within this small space I counted less than 40 stone markers. The markers themselves are almost entirely from the late 20s through the 1930s and they are all cast in concrete, not marble or granite. All but one marker denotes just the name of the decedent and the date of their passing and nothing else. I was told there was a fire in one of the buildings back in the 20s which killed a few patients and I noticed two of the decedents had the exact same day of death in 1929. This does not appear to be an active cemetery anymore. There was really not a lot to see here, nor was there a historical plaque other than the memorial stone at the entrance. The photos included in this review pretty much sum up what is here.

Just behind the holy Cross cemetery and next to this one is the Brethren cemetery. This cemetery is a blend of markers from the 1800s all the way to the current day and is still in use. There is some scattered randomness to some of the graves, but otherwise many are laid out into large family plots. Not too many graves really stand out here and I did not find a Texas historical sign. There are quite a number of graves associated with the American Legion. Still plenty of room in case you're looking for that forever home in a quiet place.

It is directly behind the Palm Valley Lutheran Church which is a historical building. All the graves are very well laid out and ordered primarily into family burial plots. There are acres of old headstones , recent ones and some waiting to be interred in their future plot. There is a single paved lane that runs through the center of the cemetery dividing the old and the new graves. I'm sure many of these headstones belong to the Who's Who of Round Rock and local history. This is still an active cemetery and I found several recent graves from 2022. There is also more room for additional plots on the back side should you decide this is the place to be your forever home. The church had a historical marker, but I did not see one for the cemetery. The pictures in this review don't fully capture just how beautiful this place is.

This cemetery sits at the end of a cul-de-sac on Teton Drive, which is just a few blocks from US 183 on Ohlen Road. Sadly, the cemetery which sits on less than an acre is in a shambles and in a very disorganized state. It is completely surrounded by residential homes on all sides, but this would've been in the middle of nowhere at the turn of the 20th century, which is how old some of these markers are. There are many older headstones here blended in with some newer ones as recently as 2020. Most of the cemetery is primarily green space with lots of toppled over headstones. That leads me to believe there may be many people buried at this location which may have had wooden markers at one time which have long since decayed away. Why there are some recent interments amongst these much older ones in such a dilapidated and disorganized cemetery is beyond me. I suspect this may be a African-American cemetery. Unfortunately, at this time, it does not appear that any attempt has been made to restore any of the fallen or broken headstones. At least the photos below will be added to Google maps.

There are 172 burials at the cemetery that have been documented at findagrave.com. Other documents and websites include various information about burials and family members. The Find a Grave listings include some images of the people buried there and their grave markers, obituaries, and death certificates. The cemetery, once in an open field, was surrounded by the Wooten neighborhood when it was established; eventually the high fence was added. Note: The church's website shows its name as "St. Paul." On Find a Grave, the cemetery is listed as "St. Pauls." The sign on the cemetery fence reads "St. Paul's Baptist Church."

There is a one dirt road driveway that leads in to the cemetery, but it does have a locked gate to prevent entry by car. Unlike the Bethany cemetery, I was not able to find a Texas historical sign posted here. There's not much in the way of a cemetery lawn to speak of, but it is adorned with dozens of well manicured oak trees on a hilly 5 acre lot. This cemetery, like the Bethany cemetery, is primarily populated by African-Americans. There are also dozens of graves belonging to military service members. There still appears to be more room for future interments. The photos below add more insight.
