This cemetery is now a defunct cemetery.

The Masonic Cemetery was located just behind the single row of residential development just to the northwest on Bagby between Lamar and McKinney Avenues, and was located also just to the southeast of the Episcopal Cemetery, which extended down to the banks of Buffalo Bayou. The Masonic Cemetery had been established in May 1856 by Holland Lodge No. 1, which purchased the property for $200 from Peter W. Gray. They had fenced their newly acquired property and sold lots for $20 each to lodge members in good standing, whose families could also be interred with them. Many prominent Masons were buried there, the most notable one being Anson Jones, a Grand Master of the Holland Lodge and the last President of the Republic of Texas, who died in 1858. According to WPA history of Houston, among the oldest graves were those of Stephen Richardson, one of Austin's first 300 colonists, and his wife and her sister, both daughters of Alexander Hodge. The Houston Chronicle on March 1, 1938 said of the cemetery, "Among the original ones buried there were children of Mrs. Priscilla Hadley Key, grandchildren of Obedience Smith, who owned all of southwestern Houston, extending from Main west and south of Buffalo Bayou. These children also were descendants of Francis Scott Key, who wrote the Star-Spangled Banner." When Glenwood Cemetery was incorporated in 1871, a section was dedicated as a Masonic burial ground. Many remains (including those of Jones) were re-interred at Glenwood. The last burial in the Masonic Cemetery occurred in 1879. The Masonic Building Association continued to own the property and even considered building their temple there. In May 1959 the Masons had the cemetery's dedication removed and the remaining sixteen bodies were re-interred at Glenwood. They sold the remaining property to the City in 1960 for $289,964 for Civic Center expansion. Although the land was initially used as a parking lot, it too, was ultimately incorporated into Sam Houston Park. Subsequently the former Episcopal Cemetery land was also added to Sam Houston Park. Members of Christ Episcopal Church had established the Episcopal Cemetery in 1848. Lots sold for $10-$50, depending on the size and location. Many graves were moved to Glenwood Cemetery after it was established in 1871, as one of Houston's most beautiful and most landscaped cemeteries. The dedication on the Episcopal Cemetery was removed June 22, 1938, since it was no longer being used. Most of the remaining graves were moved to Brookside Memorial Park, where the Christ Church section is designated with a single, large marker. The property remained unused except for occasional parking. After removing the remaining graves in 1948, Christ Church sold the property to the City for $52,500, and it was ultimately incorporated into Sam Houston Park.
