On our 2nd Day at Pleasant
Ridge Cemetery Project, HD News' Jade Kurian and Nigel
McGregor came out to interview and photograph Dan Fauver and
our volunteers. Wow! How about that: National Media Coverage? This
just lets us know that what we are doing is a good thing.
Ms. Deborah Franklin informed our
volunteers: " The first person buried in the Pleasant Ridge Cemetery
was Cassie, the 15 year old daughter of Rev. A.N. Keen, on of the
first Methodist ministers in this part of Texas. The body of
the preacher's daughter was laid to rest beneath a grove of wide
shade trees in 1878. For years, Pleasant Ridge Cemetery was the
burial place for Texans for miles around in this little Rose Hill
community because there was no charge made for plots within this
cemetery.
More information to come.
