  The first burial  site used by the citizens of Liverpool was located on a tract of land  donated to the community by Dick Holt, a son-in-law of T. J.  Callihan. It was  located on the West side of Chocolate Bayou in the bend of the bayou between  the present site of Albert Finkle Park and the railroad tracks, where the  Enchanted Edgewater subdivision is located today. Due to a contested title  to the property in the early 1870s, further burials were discontinued, and a  new site was sought for the cemetery. 

The present site  was used for burials as early as 1875, although the deed transfer was not  recorded in the Brazoria County Deed Records until 1882. Thomas C. Nelson  deeded the three-acre tract to the three trustees of the Liverpool School  District # 10 to be used for a school, church and cemetery. The three  Liverpool School Trustees at that time were W. C.  Callihan, W. Rowan and John  Corrigan. Thomas C. Nelson, a native of England and an early settler of  Liverpool, was active and instrumental in the platting, laying out and  naming of Liverpool after his hometown in England. 

Some of the earlier  burials were disentombed and reburied in the new site, but many were left in  unmarked graves. It has been rumored that some of the early grave sites were  eroded and washed away by Chocolate Bayou.  The present  Liverpool Cemetery is located on a wooded tract of land on the West bank of  Chocolate Bayou, south of County Road #171 at the end of St.  Ann Street. 

There  are two historical markers at the entrance to the cemetery. One is a Texas  Historical Marker for the Liverpool Cemetery that was installed by the Texas  Historical Survey Committee in 1966, and the other is a large granite marker  erected by the state of Texas in 1936, honoring Thomas Jefferson Callihan, a  veteran of the Battle of San Jacinto. The marker for Thomas Jefferson  Callihan was originally placed on the site of the first cemetery, supposedly  near his grave, but was later moved to its present location at the new  cemetery when the property was developed into the Enchanted Edgewater  subdivision. 

The cemetery was  originally managed and governed by the trustees of the Liverpool School.  When the Liverpool Common School District #10 was dissolved in 1955, a board  of three trustees to govern the cemetery was elected by the citizens of  Liverpool. The first three trustees to serve in this capacity were Seaford  L. Callihan, Elizabeth Grupe Simpson and Mary Helen West Beall. The three  current trustees are Stanley Richardson, Martha Orsak Nash and James B.  Callihan. Other trustees that have served on the board are Johnnie L. Glassford,  Marjorie Clement Glassford and George H. Arth, Jr.
