Site of Ray-Manship Cemetery

Razed in 1984, the cemetery that once was located at this site contained twelve known burials and numerous unmarked graves of early Tarrant County settlers. The graveyard was located on the William Ray survey. Ray, a Peters colonist, and his wife, Lucinda, were buried here in the mid-1880s. The earliest known burial, that of Sarah Clark (b. 1880), took place in 1883. Three members of the Manship family, early area farmers, were known to have been buried here. Several graves were reinterred in Rose Hill Cemetery as area land development began. Texas Sesquicentennial - 1836-1986
