History of Gregg School Cemetery aka Gregg Cemetery in Manor, Texas explored.

A cemetery called Gregg School Cemetery aka Gregg Cemetery was plotted northwest of Manor, Texas in 1870 when William Stiles donated one acre of land for the Gregg School to be built on at the present location of 5300 Gregg Lane, Manor, Texas, US 78653. Gregg School Cemetery is also known as the Old Rock Church Cemetery and Gregg Cemetery.

William Stiles died on December 24, 1883 at the age of 73 and his wife, Piety Ellis Stiles, died a few years later on May 23, 1885. They are both buried in the Gregg School Cemetery. Their graves are marked by headstones enclosed within an iron fence.

1965 is when land for the former Gregg School property and the Gregg School Cemetery were deeded and sold to a man named Christian Buck who lived on the land until his death. In 1965, Christian Buck converted the land into a ranch after paperwork was finalized. Christian Buck bought the land from Manor ISD, Pflugerville ISD, and Travis County.

The Christian Buck Estate deeded Jack W Gullahorn and Patricia H Gullahorn the former Gregg School land property and Gregg School Cemetery on the date of 11/24/1982. Nothing was left of any structures at Gregg Cemetery or Gregg School when it was purchased by the Gullahorns in 1982. The church had been long gone by the decade of the 1980s.

In 2005 and 2006, Schoenstatt Movement of Austin deeded and granted Alexander House the Gregg School land property and the Gregg School Cemetery to Alexander House of Austin from a quit claim deed.

Gregg Cemetery (Gregg School Cemetery) was finally granted status as a Historic Texas Cemetery in 2015 largely through the efforts of Richard Lamson of Dallas. The wife of Richard Lamson had relatives buried in the cemetery along with a host of other family members. Some of the Gullahorns are said to be buried there as well.


All that remains of the Gregg School is the Gregg School Cemetery located on private land on the right side of Gregg Lane. The cemetery is completely overgrown with tall grass and almost all tombstones found are toppled over. The cemetery is in poor condition.

Patricia H Gullahorn and Jack W Gullahorn are the caretakers for the Gregg School Cemetery. Through the years they worked to protect the cemetery and find descendants of those buried there who might be willing to help maintain it.

Gregg School Cemetery aka Gregg Cemetery is located at 5300 Gregg Lane, Manor, Texas, US 78653.
