This area was first settled in the 1840s by Henry Rhodes. He was soon joined by such pioneers as Elisha Prewitt, who fought in the Battle of San Jacinto, and Civil War veterans Elisha Rhodes, J. Bryon Jenkins, and William H. Thompson, whose home at this site served as a stage stop. In 1866 Confederate veteran John G. Jolly established the Jollyville community. The owner of a store and blacksmith shop, he gave land for a cemetery and for a school (200 ft. W), which was merged with Pond Springs in 1903. Later growth in the Jollyville area resulted from nearby urban development.Erected:

Hey, a while ago you came into the Spicewood Springs Library asking where to find this cemetary. To get to the path/entrance, you actually have to go into the Spicewood Springs apartment complex. Use the entrance closest to the historical marker, round the bend and park to the right of the dumpsters. The path is on the left and looks like it's going to link to the neighboring complex. Hope this helps!
