Glen Rest Cemetery
About Us
Cemetery Board member Weir Labatt
The Glen Rest Cemetery became a community cemetery in October of 1894. The deed for the approximately ten acres was dated April 3, 1895 and was purchased for $317.50. The Kerrville Cemetery Association was governed by five directors elected by the owners of burial sites in the cemetery. The original directors were A.C. Schreiner, H. Remschel, W.G. Garrett, B.H. Ross and Ed Smallwood. In 1972 the name of the governing body was changed to the Kerrville Perpetual Care Cemetery Association.
Burials include twenty-five (25) Civil War veterans (both Confederate and Union) and four (4) Texas Rangers.
Today there are approximately 2,870 men, women and children buried in the cemetery.
