Showing The Locations Of All Known Cemeteries
In The County
Website visitors may have noticed the Robertson County Cemetery List growing in recent years. Originally totaling 50 cemeteries, this list now includes over 155 cemeteries and burial locations. This list expansion is due, in large part, to the efforts of Volunteer County Coordinator William Kent Brunette and his Robertson County-based dad, William Jacob "Bill" Brunette, who have spent lots of time trying to locate and record the geographic coordinates of all of Robertson County's cemeteries. With a global positioning system (GPS) unit in hand, the Brunettes, Robertson County Historical Commission Chair Cathy Lazarus, and other volunteers have been looking at land records, knocking on doors, badgering relatives, calling property owners, traipsing across pastures, wading through creeks, and fighting underbrush to find lost or forgotten cemeteries.
The fruits of these labors were turned over to the Texas Department of Transportation (TDOT) which has updated the Robertson County map to reflect all of the county's known cemeteries. At some point in the near future, the county's 70+ historic markers will be added to this map. The ultimate goal is to create an interactive online county map where visitors can click on the names of different cemeteries, historic markers, towns/communities and be linked to relevant information.
On the second toolbar above the map below, you will see five pieces of paper. Click on the fifth piece of paper to the right (the one with the little arrow pointing down) to rotate the map for viewing. Then use the zoom feature (indicated by the "+" in the middle of the magnifying glass on the toolbar) to explode the map for detailed viewing. Just place the "+" on the part of the map you wish to view & keep clicking until the map becomes the size you desire.
