Glendale Cemetery Houston

Glendale Cemetery Houston Historic Glendale Cemetery on the banks of Buffalo Bayou, Houston, Texas. Glendale Cemetery. Burial place of Texas heroes and pioneers.

Glendale began as private plot of the family of John R. Harris, founder of Harrisburg (now part of Houston). First burial, on July 23, 1839, was of Harris' cousin, Judge John Birdsall, an ex-attorney general of Texas. A cemetery developed without management or legal status. In 1897, local ladies formed Glen Dale Cemetery Company and kept grounds in order for years. After a period of neglect, a group began the restoration in 1952. Glendale Cemetery Association, Inc. now manages the property and provides perpetual care.
