There are actually two Holland Cemeteries in Burnet Co., TX. One is located four miles S of Burnet & about 1/2 mi. E off Mormon Mill Rd where Samuel Eley Holland (also related to this branch of Hollands, he was the first Holland to move to the Burnet Co., TX area & had much to do with getting Burnet Co. established as a county) & his descendants are buried. The other Holland Cemetery is located about ten miles from Burnet on land that originally belonged to the John & Mary Covington Holland family. This tiny cemetery is located in what was once their pasture land & is now part of the Denney Ranch 2 Nature Preserve owned by Annie Denney. It contains several unknown or unmarked graves in addition to an unknown child believed to be related to the Henry Johnson family. NW of this cemetery & across the fence in an adjoining pasture is the grave of a female slave marked by four steel rods in the ground which is covered with rocks. NE of the cemetery on the SW corner of the Sparlin place is the grave of a Cochran child who died while the Cochran family was moving cross country. Most but not all the people buried here have a family connection to John & Mary Covington Holland. While the cemetery is officially known as Holland Cemetery, I inserted Family into the name to distinguish it from the other Holland Cemetery. It is a tiny plot of burial ground with only a few readable stones still visible. Since it sits on private land, it is not as well maintained as it would be if it had been more of an established cemetery like Bethel, also in Burnet Co.
