City assumes ownership of Humble Cemetery
City assumes ownership of Humble Cemetery
The Humble City Council voted to assume legal ownership of the Humble Cemetery at its Feb. 13 meeting. The cemetery, located in the 400 block of S. Houston Avenue, has been languishing for years under the ownership of the Humble Cemetery Association.
The association has owned the property for 90 years and its last surviving member died in 2002. While the city has been furnishing minor maintenance for decades, Humble Mayor Merle Aaron and Humble City Manager Jason Stuebe are relieved the city has now taken formal ownership.
