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