Hebrew Cemetery
Hempstead, Texas
In 1856, Dr. Richard R. Peebles & the widow that he married, owned the land of
the town-site of Hempstead.
Dr. Richard R. Peebles & James W. McDade entered into an agreement with the
Southern Pacific Railroad to lay out the town of Hempstead.
Mr. McDade & Dr. Peebles platted the town-site of Hempstead & allotted the
land for the large Hempstead Cemetery as a White burial ground.
The Texas Town Let Company owned the land that the Hebrew Cemetery is now on.
The Hebrew Cemetery has been is use from the early 1840's or 1850's. There is no
actual record now of how the land for the Hebrew Cemetery was acquired.
The oldest grave marker extant is from the early 1870's. On August 16, 1966, Mr.
L. D. Gale gave $15,000 to the City of Hempstead. This money was collected from
as many descendants of the old families & others buried in the Hebrew Cemetery
as could be found. This money was put up & the interest accruing, to be used
for the upkeep of the cemetery by the city of Hempstead.
