Rodgers Cemetery

Georgia native Thomas F. Rodgers (1835-1906) and his wife Mary (Adams) (1842-1912) came to Texas from Kansas in the late 1850s. A successful farmer and stock raiser, Thomas Rodgers later served in the Confederate Army during the Civil War. Eventually he became one of Kennedale's leading landowners. Part of his property was later set aside for this burial ground. Although most of the interments here are for Rodgers family members, the earliest marked grave is that of L.G. Patterson (1883-84), a son of the Rodgers' early neighbors.
