Stockdale Cemetery, located in Stockdale, Texas, is a historic burial ground that has been serving the community since the 1870s. Originally established to provide a final resting place for a young man who was not related to any local settlers, the cemetery has grown over the years with additional acreage and now encompasses more than two and a half acres. It is the final resting place for many early settlers, including the town's founder and the first schoolteacher, as well as numerous war veterans and victims of a post-World War I flu epidemic.
The cemetery is maintained by the Stockdale Cemetery Association, which was formally organized in 1965. With its rich history and more than 100 years of service, Stockdale Cemetery continues to be a significant part of the Stockdale community, providing a peaceful and respectful place for the residents to honor their loved ones.
