About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

This cemetery is effectively two cemeteries, a Brethren Cemetery and a Presbyterian Cemetery, but without a distinguishing boundary. On the east side, (right side when facing cemetery from road) is a sign that says SPJST Cemetery, which signifies the Presbyterian side. The road on the west side of the cemetery goes beneath a sign that says Kovar Brethren Cemetery Association.

The history behind this was described in an excerpt from an article entitled Kovar Remembered, by Henry Krusekopf, published in The Bastrop County Times, Thursday, November 26, 1987. "The first Protestant church in Kovar was built in 1895 by a combined group of Presbyterians and Brethren followers. Although built jointly, the church building was owned by the Presbyterian church, and this created a controversy when some of the Brethren members tried to hold separate services in the building. The Presbyterians promptly locked the Brethren out of the building. This disagreement has come to be known as 'the controversy of Barden's (Barton's) Creek.' Even today, the cemetery directly east of the present Brethren church is divided into Presbyterian and Brethren sections. "
