Robert Lee Cemetery

Established in 1891, two years after the founding of the city of Robert Lee, this 11.7-acre burial ground was sold on Sept. 29, 1892, by developers L. B. Harris and Eugene Cartledge, serving as president and secretary of the Austin & Northern Land & Cattle Company, for $1.00. Already the site of several graves, it was deeded to Hayrick Lodge No. 696, A.F.&A.M., for the sole use as cemetery grounds for the members, relatives, and friends, and it was later named by the lodge. Buried here are 34 Civil War veterans, as well as soldiers of later wars and members of many of the families in Robert Lee.
