This inventory appeared in the August 1997 issue of Footprints, the
quarterly publication of the Fort Worth Genealogical Society. It is reprinted
here with permission.
The cemetery is located in Forest Hill, a suburb of southeast Fort Worth,
Texas. It is located on the east side of the 5700 block of Forest Hill Drive
behind the Forest Hill Presbyterian Church. The well kept grounds are enclosed
with a six foot chain link fence with a barbed wire barrier on top.
Historical Marker
One of the oldest burial grounds in Tarrant County; named for its location
and used for many years before record-keeping began. In 1883 landowner J.
W. Chapman deeded the property to Forest Hill Cumberland Presbyterian Church.
("Cumberland" was later dropped from the name.) Among the many interments
of pioneers were Press and Jane Farmer, who lived at the site of Fort Worth
before the U.S. Army established the Fort in 1849. The cemetery is full although
few headstones are visible, as most graves were unmarked or marked with field
stones that have since disappeared. [Marker dedicated in 1974 by the Texas
Historical Commission].
