There are currently over 200 people buried in the Hornsby Cemetery, 18 former Texas Rangers, and one Hall of Fame baseball player.  Of the 18 Texas Rangers 15 of them are from the Hornsby Family and the cemetery has the second most Texas Rangers buried in the state of Texas.
"There is a peculiar fitness that here in a lonely spot among the mesquite trees, within calling distance of the spot where once stood the first house in Travis county, are buried together all the dead members of the Hornsby family. In their lives, amid these very scenes, they did much to make Texas history and pave the way for those who followed in the more secure paths of civilization.  It is meant that they should lie here in perpetuity, the little forest of their headstone serving as a lasting memorial, not only to their own bones, but to the vivid scenes and stirring times in which they took so large a part."

--Edward Dealey, 1921
