BREWERS HILL CEMETERY
[Colored Cemetery]
Submitted by Linda Houck

Highway 21, east side of Burleson County, Texas, one mile & one tenth down County Road 221.

  This large, cyclone fenced, area of land is located behind the Jerusalem Baptist Church in the Brewers Hill community. The church is made of newer brick.  I am presuming at some time it has replaced the original building, for the first deed I located is dated July 28, 1893.

   Most of the tombstones in the cemetery are the more modern type, though many are homemade markers.  The cemetery needed mowing when I was there, but otherwise looked well kept.  Photographs were taken of the near 60 available grave makers.

  Gravestones for six veterans, covering three wars were located. Old records indicate many graves are in the cemetery, even though they are not marked.

List is not in order found.
