The headstones for the Unknowns are very simple - they are plain limestone and marked "UNKNOWN". Several graves for unknown persons are scattered throughout the eastern portion of the cemetery.

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.
