WHITTENTON CEMETERY
The WHITTENTON CEMETERY was the
first cemetery at Blue Ridge.
This cemetery is north of CR 406 and west of CR 404. It is not visible
from either road. In 1876 Marion Andrew Whittenton donated
land to establish a public cemetery--the Whittenton Cemetery at Blue
Ridge.

Marriage Records of Hamilton County as posted on this website,
and Personal database
This cemetery is owned and maintained by an active
Cemetery Association and contains upward of 85 graves. There are sixteen
un-marked and four unknowns. Two acres of land were deeded by M.A.
Whittenton on March 2, 1885 (Vol. O, P591, Deed Records of Hamilton County)
to be perpetually used as a burying ground or cemetery. Access to the
grounds is thru gates and the roads are maintained by the County. The
earliest recorded gravesite was February 18, 1864. There may have been
earlier interments.

From the square in the City of Hamilton, follow Texas
Highway 36 East approximately 2/10th miles to FM932.
Turn right -- toward Aleman -- follow FM932
approximately 5 miles to CR404.
Turn right, follow CR404 approximately 1 & 2/10ths
miles.
