What we now know as the San Saba Cemetery was first dedicated on April 26, 1884, as the Odd Fellows Cemetery on ten acres. The Odd Fellows maintained the cemetery until 1929 when it became necessary to expand to meet the needs of the town. Expansion required the cemetery to be chartered by the state. The San Saba Cemetery Association incorporated under the laws of Texas on the 31st day of January 1929 for the purpose of taking over the Odd Fellows Cemetery. At this time, the new association received an additional 7 acres from Mrs. May Holman. In 1935, a number of remains were re-interred in the cemetery from the original city burying ground (1858 – 1878) which is now Rogan Field. So there are several grave stones which are dated from before the opening of San Saba Cemetery.
