Tx Submitted by Laurie Mullen LJMUL3@aol.com BETHAL CEMETERY BURNET COUNTY, TEXAS Directions: Burnet. Left off Ranch Road 963, first road past Lake Victor turnoff, well marked. I put the names in alphabetical order to make it easier to search, this does not guarantee that the names are from the same “clan”. I am willing to take photographs of the stones for people who live outside the immediate area. Texas Historical Commission - Bethal Cemetery: “The REV. Richard Howard (1817 - 1882) moved to this area of Burnet County in 1885. The frontier settlement he joined would later be known as the Bethal Community. In 1874 he deeded two acres at this site for the community use. The first recorded burial was that of Howard’s Grand-daughter, Harriet Ruthie Howard, in 1875. Since then this site has been used as the Bethal Community Cemetery. Buried here are veterens of the Civil War to World War II and many of the area’s early settler’s and their descendants. The Bethal Cemetery Association was established in 1930.” ATTAWAY Charles Berwyn b. Sep 18, 1890 d. Aug 6, 1966 (two stones) Alice Audrey Daughter of Thos. & Josie Glimp b. Jan 13, 1904 d.
