I guess the only reason I call myself "fan" is because I walked and biked past it so many time growing up in Dallas. As far as could tell, no interment ever happened there during that time. The yard was (is) situated along busy Loop-12/Buckner Blvd, so the only "peaceful" daytime hours would have been towards the back (southwest area behind the corner "gas" station...which might have long since disappeared after the 1960s) where some gnarly bushes and trees still remained the last time I passed by. I did not as a kid pay much heed to the cemetery before it came to pass that my Scout troop and I became engaged in cleaning up the even more historic yard that existed across on the other side of Scyene Road. I remember we guys coming across some stones marking graves of rather notorious people--in particular, female miscreants--from the days before Pleasant Grove (town's) annexation by Dallas. Looking at the Pleasant Mound Cemetery pic on this Web page, I can see that compliment are due to someone(s), either public or private, for the substantial beautification of the grave yard. I am left to wonder, also, if any of the derelict graves across Scyene have ever been re-interred in "official" Pleasant Mound. I find the perpetual care designation interesting in light of the fact that a bank or similar holding institution normally requires lots of money--through fees, donations, grants....to hold cemetery and cemetery upkeep in trust. Even though Pleasant Mound, small and level as it is, would require little upkeep, I still think praise is due to whomever has donated, and will continue to donate, either money or voluntary labor to maintained the site's historic as well as "resting place" status. It took a long while but at long last finally some good Dallas people got it done right. read more
