Mount Calvary Cemetery, Dallas, Texas
Pioneer settlers used this site for burials as early as the 1840's. The oldest known grave is that of Amanda L. Houx (1829-1847). In 1868 William Huffhines donated a two acre tract, which included the early graves, to Mount Calvary Baptist Church. A frame church building stood here until 1885, when the congregation moved to Richardson and later became the First Baptist Church. More land was added to the burial ground by C.C. Huffhines in 1896 and C.B. Chick in 1925 and 1935. A cemetery association, formed in 1924, cares for the almost 800 graves here.

Police try to subdue crowd near Dallas monument
(20 Aug 2017) Dallas police officers trying to subdue a crowd at a cemetery housing a Confederate monument have tried to protect four of the demonstrators by pulling them over a barrier in front of the memorial.
The scuffle at Pioneer Park, a civil war cemetery, happened late on Saturday as a large rally at City Hall plaza nearby was ending.
Police had estimated about 2,300 people attended the rally, but only a few hundred remained by the evening.
Tempers flared at Pioneer Park as supporters and opponents of the monument faced off.
Police on horseback charged through when a scuffle there broke out.
The four people who were pulled over the barrier appeared to be supporters of the monument.
One man was also seen being detained by a law enforcement officer.
Some of the people on both sides of the clash were carrying weapons, though there was no indication of shots fired.

American Pioneers and the Code of the West
An 1800s documentary for your enjoyment (remix from 2015). A man's got to have a code, a creed to live by, no matter his job. -- John Wayne. These homespun laws bein' merely a gentleman's agreement to certain rules of conduct for survival, were never wrote into the statutes, but became respected ever'where on the range nevertheless. -- Ramon G. Adams
Life on the American frontier was difficult. There were no written rules for survival and no code of ethics by which to live. So the pioneers developed their own. It was called The Code of the West. Although unwritten, it is still with us today. In Houston, we celebrate our history in late February every year by turning back the clock to the era of THE OLD WEST. So this is a good time to remember THE CODE OF THE WEST.

Dallas Demonstrators Rally Against Racism
(20 Aug 2017) Dallas officials are expecting thousands of people will show up for an evening rally against white supremacy at City Hall plaza, a short distance from the city's Confederate War Memorial.
Several police sharp-shooters could be seen on top of nearby buildings ahead of the 7:30 p.m. rally.
We already fought a war about Nazism, we're not going to do it again, said Justin Normand, one of the first demonstrators to arrive. He held a sign that read, You Belong.
This is absolutely unacceptable, he said. My relatives fought against that mess. I had a great uncle who was paralyzed all of his life from being shot down. We're not going there again.
About a half-dozen people wearing camouflage toted long guns and other weapons as they walked through Pioneer Park, a Civil War cemetery. They said they were patrolling to make sure there is no vandalism to graves or the Confederate memorial.

Tempers Flair Near Monument in Dallas
(20 Aug 2017) Officers in riot gear, and some on horseback, have forced hundreds of protesters out a Dallas cemetery where they were clashing over a Confederate monument.
More than 100 demonstrators lingered on a blockaded street after they were pushed out of Pioneer Park. Many yelled at the officers standing watch, and a helicopter circled above.
At one point, officers pulled four supporters of the monument over a barrier for their protection.
Some of the people on both sides of the clash were carrying weapons, though there was no indication of shots fired. There was a lot of pushing and shoving as the two groups squared off.
Earlier Saturday night, about 2,300 people attended a rally against racism as City Hall plaza nearby.
The four people who were pulled over the barrier appeared to be supporters of the monument.
One man was also seen being detained by a law enforcement officer.

Cedarhurst Cemetery Being Restored by Residents of La Porte,Texas 4-6-2013
I first visited this cemetery in 1985. In 1995 I tried to restore the cemetery myself. Got no help and could not finish it by myself. I put out the word to help save this cemetery. 2011 help came and in 2013 the real work started on the clean up. I am so glad too see the people of La Porte stepped up and came to the aid of this historic cemetery. It is a important part of the city's history.
George E. Wolf Jr./2013
