Kennard Cemetery

 

KENNARD CEMETERY

This cemetery is located on Hwy 171 south of Parker in the very southern edge of Johnson County. It is fenced, neatly mowed, and has some of the most graceful, ornate, marble gravestones I have ever seen. One of the more ornate headstones appears to be 10-12' tall; a couple have entire Bible passages engraved on the back of them. Engraved on one of the more elaborate stones in small letters on its side is: "Steam Marble and Granite Works, Gilmore and Scott, Proprs., Sherman, TX." 1989, Sharon Peel.
