Thanks to members of the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity and GHF staff who spent their Saturday morning focusing on property cleanup at Rosewood Cemetery. Established in 1911 by a group of African American citizens who organized themselves as the Rosewood Cemetery Association, the association purchased the land from the Joe Levy Family, and 86 shares were divided among 26 shareholders. Churches, associations, societies, and individuals, including the Wright Cuney Lodge, purchased the shares. The first person buried was Robert Bailey on February 1, 1912, and the last burial was Frank Boyer on June 29, 1944.Rosewood Cemetery was donated to Galveston Historical Foundation in 2006 by John and Judy Saracco and is a project of GHF’s African American Heritage Committee. In 2011, the site received a subject marker from the Texas Historical Commission and is listed on the National Park Service’s National Register of Historic Places.
