This cemetery is located in Garrison District Park, 6001 Manchaca Road, in Austin. A plaque at the site reads:

"The Stanley-Nolen Cemetery is the final resting place of two of Austin's pioneer families and their descendents. Thomas Edward Stanley, born in Darlington County, South Carolina, on January 6, 1805, met and married Holland West Gatlin in Tennessee, and in 1849 the family settled here, five miles south of Austin.

"Holland West Gatlin Stanley who is buried here is the daughter of the sister of Nancy Hanks, Abraham Lincoln's mother.

"Jane Stanley, only daughter of Holland Stanley, married Thomas Warren Nolen who served as Travis county's first Assessor-Collector. The one remaining marker in the cemetery is that of his brother, Mace S. Nolen. The Nolens played a prominent part in the development of Austin and Travis County. Sidney F. Nolen served as county commissioner, 1894 to 1903, and Henry C. Nolen served as city Alderman from the first ward, April 1899 to May 1903. Both are grandsons of Holland Stanley and nephews of Mace Nolen.

"Harry W. Nolen, son of Henry, was city commissioner from April, 1923, until the city manager form of government was installed by the city of Austin in 1926. He also served as superintendent of police and public safety and worked to establish the city manager system.

"The Stanley-Nolen cemetery was acquired by the city of Austin in 1961 as part of a tract purchased from the Stanley heirs for the development of Garrison Park."
