Liberty Hill Cemetery has been used for burials since 1852, when the earliest settlers were establishing homes in the area. The first formal grant of land here as a community burial ground came in 1875, when John T. and Amelia Edwards Bryson deeded three and one-half acres to the cemetery trustees, T. N. Bryson, C. C. Chance, W. H. Poole, J. B. Roddy, and T. S. Snyder. The Brysons and their neighbors built a stone fence around this acreage with their own hands. Additions to the original plot included land formerly owned by John T. Bryson and land donated by Dr. and Mrs. H. L. Fowler. In 1932, Royal Arch Masons established an adjacent three-acre Masonic cemetery, later transferring title to Liberty Hill Lodge No. 432, A.F. and A.M., which gave it in 1959 to the Liberty Hill Cemetery Association. Through later land purchases, the cemetery grew to more than twenty acres. Funds came through bequests from Walter Gardner, Arthur Gray, and T. L. McDaniel, along with contributions from many others. In 1953 the Liberty Hill Cemetery Association was incorporated, with Dr. J. Gordon Bryson as president, C. L. Chance as vice president, C. F. Hickman as treasurer, and Mrs. Letitia Russell as secretary.
