The Cemetery
is located off Lawson Road @ 5975 Shannon Road, Mesquite, Dallas
County, TX. (Mapsco 70D) (On private property, inside Shaw Ranch
horse lot, the house is at top of hill & overgrown monuments,
with no protection, are underneath trees & rubble directly
to the right side of the lot at the bottom of the hill, behind
the house)
There would
naturally be unmarked graves in this area. One survey, Jul 1975
in Balch Springs Historical & Genealogical Society newsletter,
indicated 4 markers had been completely destroyed.
The Cemetery
land was originally owned by Virgil Sharpe, and formerly Haught's
Store.
