One of the responsibilities of
the Brown County Historical Commission is to keep up
with all the cemeteries in the county, some 51 of
them. With the help of the Brown County
Historical Society, they inventory and record who is
in the cemeteries, encourage Historical Texas
Cemetery markers be applied for and placed in the
cemetery. Four cemeteries in Brown County are
now designed as Historical Texas Cemeteries.
They are: Eureka Cemetery, Staley Cemetery,
Windham Cemetery and Zephyr Cemetery. Here is a link to the Pecan
Valley Genealogical Society website that lists
burials in some cemeteries. https://www.browncountytexasgenealogy.com/pvgs_cemeteries.html Also, books sold by the Brown County Historical Society,
lists the people who are buried in these
cemeteries. The books are also on the shelves of the Local History and Genealogy Research Library across the street from the Brown County Courthouse at 213 S. Broadway They are: - "Rural Cemetery Inscriptions of Brown
County," by: Hazel Ellis Wetzel. Price
