Hi all, thought it was about time you all heard from me.
I have been quite discouraged with my computer - my fault for being a download
junkie - its about 75% fixed - and I lost some email files - darn it.
shouldn't be keeping
my research in a mail program. anyway this came my way and thought I would
share it with you.
The following information was extracted from an article titled "Police,
>neighbors clean up historic Tarrant cemetery", which appeared in the Fort
>Worth Star-Telegram, Saturday, October 12, 1996, Section B, page 1 & page 8
>
>"The grave of [J. C.[ Randol, who died in 1894, and the rest of the old
>Harrison Cemetery where he is buried......The cemetery is 125 years old and
>no one has been buried there for decades. Tarrant County pioneer D. C.
>Harrison bought the land for his family, according to the records of the
>Historic Preservation Council of Tarrant County. Mary E. Harrison, who lived
>from 1864 to 1871, occupies the oldest grave. R. A. Randol, who operated a
>gristmill in what is now east Fort Worth from 1857 to 1916, bought the
>cemetery in 1895. Members of the Randol and Harrison families intermarried.
> Randol's first wife, Ronda; and his brother, J. C. Randol, are buried in the
>cemetery with about 60 other people.....Even with the land cleared, it still
>might be hard to identify Harrison as a cemetery if not for the graves of J.
>C. Randol and Confederate veteran Edward D. Tracy. The two graves are among
>the few with gravestones. Most of the other stones are gone, knocked over or
>eroded....."
>
>The Cemetery is located south of Interstate 30 on the Eastside of Fort Worth
>in the area known as Meadowbrook, near the intersection of Meadowbrook Road
>and Medlock Drive, the Bentley Square apartment complex is located nearby.
