Cemeteries of TX: Dolores I. Bishop

The cemetery is located behind the Oak Grove United Methodist Church on FM 720 just 1/4 mile South of Highway 380.  It is about 10 miles East of Denton, TX

The land for the cemetery and church was donated by the family of Rev. Bates who founded the church in 1880.   The oldest burial listed is 1873.  The oldest birth listed is 1811.  In 1973, a State Historical Survey Committee placed a Historical   Marker on the grave of William Edmunds Bates.  This is a beautiful old cemetery and still very active.

We have a 4th of July- Heritage Sunday  and we place flags on each of the Military graves.  One is CSA 9th Texas Cavalry.

Some of the death dates  were found by using the Social Security Death Index.

Two old stones are just pieces of brown rock about a foot high and read"Born-Died". I think of these as infants.  So many are little babies and children. 

As you can see, I love this lovely little white church among the oak trees and the quiet place just beyond where I spend so many hours.  Also, our place is marked there with the only stone in the shape of a cross. Someday, I'll spend LOTS of hours there.  Wanda Parrish Blair

In November 2007, George and James Bates , sons of Rev. William Edmunds Bates & Susan Wright   were moved to Oak Grove Cemetery in Denton County, so there no longer is a BATES CEMETERY.  (Bob Leahy)
