Located within the city limits of Meridian, TX, at the South end of Hill
Street, where the entrance is located, this cemetery was "laid off" by George B.
ERATH, when he surveyed the town of Meridian as county seat of the newly
organized Beautiful Bosque County.
The part near the flagpole at the entrance has the oldest burials, however, many
rock markers are unreadable. It is quite possible that many graves have no
stone at all. Most, if not all, of the men hanged legally and illegally in
Meridian are believed buried here. Their names are not known. In addition,
other persons believed buried here without markers are:
McCURRY, William ---- He had the contract to build the first courthouse
SCREWS, Nathan and his wife - daughter of William McCURRY
For years, the city of Meridian has furnished part of the upkeep. Other
funds come from the Meridian Cemetery Association.Last Update
