Dallas Co, Texas

Garvin Cm., Northwest Hwy. west of Midway Rd, Dallas, Mapsco 24W
Charles Elliott Rainwater, 10 Sep 1920 - 13 Jun 1921, AA, unmarked [1503]
Note: I am dubious about this location. Garvin is a private family cemetery with Confederate ties, considerably distant from where the family lived. Charles’ death certificate says Garvin Cemetery, Letot, but Garvin wasn’t in the town of Letot. I strongly suspect he is buried in Old Letot Cemetery, near to where the family lived.

Hilltop Cm., Perry Rd, Carrollton, Mapsco 2Z

White Rock Garden of Memories, Cedar Canyon Rd (formerly Celestial Dr), Dallas, Mapsco 15F
One of Dallas’s oldest African American cemeteries, White Rock Garden of Memories has gone by several names including Smith, Alpha (for its proximity to Alpha Road), and White Rock Union. It was nearly destroyed in the 1980s by unscrupulous developers. [1744]

Responsibility for this abandoned cemetery was assumed by the City of Dallas in the 1970s, when the property was renamed Nelson Park. The Dallas Mapsco shows the cemetery separate from the park, naming it Woodland. Additional background on this cemetery can be found in this Dallas Morning News article.
