Glenn Cemetery in Hood County was established to serve residents of Bluff Dale, an Erath County community west of the site. Andrew Jackson Glenn, for whom the burial ground is named, donated land for cemetery use in 1897, although graves were already on the property, with the earliest dating to 1867. Many prominent early residents of Bluff Dale, including Glenn and veterans of military conflicts dating to the Civil War, are buried there. For more than 100 years, the cemetery has served residents of Bluff Dale and the surrounding area.
