| Marker Text | This site on the south bank of the South San Gabriel River, a portion of the land donated by George W. Glasscock in 1848 for the county seat of Williamson County, was used as a burial plot from 1840 to 1902. Many pioneer citizens lie buried here – many names unknown and graves unmarked. Restoration of “The Old Georgetown Cemetery” was begun in 1963 by the Georgetown Historical Survey Committee with the co-operation of interested people who “did not forget.” |
