History: Established
in 1887, the Beth Haven Cemetery has been maintained by concerned
and faithful volunteers who take time out from their busy schedules
to keep the grounds and make the needed repairs that we might
have a place to be proud of and to honor our loved ones who have
gone on to be with our Lord and Savior. But one couple stands
out above all the rest - Burnice (Dick) and Wilma Jones. Their
countless years of work and leadership has resulted in an endowed-perpetual
care operation with elected officials who operate and oversee
the cemetery. The land for the cemetery was donated by Dickís
grandfather, Mr. M. G. Jones. With the help of his aging mother,
Dick identified graves and erected markers where only rocks had
been placed. These records would have been forever lost had it
not been for this family. So, while there is yet time, let us
not fail to express our love and appreciation to Dick and Wilma
who have done so much for so many.
Location: Beth Haven Cemetery is located in the
southwest part of Erath County, Texas, in the Bays community,
about five miles north of Round Grove.
