Henderson Cemetery

The following inventory submitted by Mrs. Homer Roper, appeared in the August 1979 issue of Footprints, the quarterly publication of the Fort Worth Genealogical Society. It is reprinted here with permission.

Taken from Star-Telegram July 7, 1971 by Bob Hood with an interview with Mr. Earl Henderson, 81 years old.

The Henderson estate, 300 acres has been in the family 130 years. Mr. Henderson's grandfather bought the land from the Republic of Texas in the 1840's for 25 cents to 60 cents an acre. West of the house built in 1904 on the site of the first log cabin is the Henderson Cemetery.

The cemetery is located south of Wilbarger Street (old Village Creek Road) and the Poly Freeway. One of the graves marked with rods is the grave of a slave. Seven others are marked with rods, most small like children's graves.

The Henderson Cemetery is actually located in the 4500 block of Village Creek Road, between Wilbarger Street and the freeway. There are pictures in our Photo Gallery.
