CALLOWAY CEMETERY
The earliest marked graves in
this cemetery are those of two
brothers, Richard H. Calloway
(1832-1874) and Joseph W. Calloway
(1829-1877), who owned this land
in the 1860s. Richard's widow
Catherine (Coble) deeded 1.5 acres
here in 1886 for use as a public
burial ground. The original site
included the family cemetery
and graves of several neighbors.
The wooden Tabernacle was
constructed in 1908. Families
maintained the grounds until 1971
when a perpetual care fund was
set up. Many pioneer settlers
of eastern Tarrant County are
buried here.
