Hillside Cemetery is owned and maintained by the City of Cuero.

History

Hillside Cemetery dates back to 1875, when the Cuero Land and Immigration Co. conveyed 12 acres of land to the new community of Cuero for use as a burial ground. By 1880, local women formed a cemetery association to maintain burial plots. They raised funds and collected dues to employ a groundskeeper to make cemetery improvements. The site grew to include additional acreage and the once segregated African-American cemetery, Evergreen. The Ladies' Cemetery Association turned over its duties to the City in 1972, but an endowment established in 1919 continues to generate funds for cemetery projects.

    What makes us Different?

    Single-sourced, not crowd-sourced

    Each transcription we publish comes from a single-source, be it the cemetery office, government office, church office, archived document, a tombstone transcriber. Other websites already do an excellent job of crowd-sourcing a single cemetery together. But genealogists also need to see the original records from a single source. That's what we offer.
