This inventory appeared in the February 1997 issue of Footprints, the quarterly publication of the Fort Worth Genealogical Society. It is reprinted here with permission.

The cemetery is located on the east side of the 1000 block of Bishop Street about two blocks east of Texas Wesleyan University in southeast Fort Worth. The grounds are well maintained and enclosed with a chain link fence. A special warranty dee, dated 16 Dec 1922, [Vol. 753, p, 350] refers to the "Masonic Home Cemetery" indicating that the Home developed a section here. The Paul Harris estate pays T.W.U. $500.00 annually for maintenance of the cemetery.
