Visitors must check in at the base, and be escorted to the site. Although the cemetery is located within the city limits of Dallas. It still is of interest to those who have ancestors in Grand Prairie. The cemetery was begun before the Civil War as a private family burial plot for Roland Hewett, who owned the land. There were four Hewett children—Irving, Mrs Rebecca Ray, Mrs Josephine Borer and Mrs Cynthia Snow. The first recorded burial date in the cemetery is on the grave of J. H. Snow. The marker dates is death in 1864 at the age of 34. Just how many people are buried in the cemetery, and when the cemetery began nobody really knows . Many of the graves were never marked and many of the markers have faded or crumbled. The last burial in Fuget Cemetery was that of Charles T Hargis on September 29, 1951, ten years after the burial of Bennie B Farrens, Private 165 Depot Brigade. Three hundred acres of the original Hewett property were purchased in September 1928 by the Dallas City Commission to be used by the U S Army as a military base. The airport cost the City of Dallas Commerce contributed $16,000 for construction of hangers and other improvements. The Army signed a 20–year lease at $1 per year, and named the base Hensley Field. In September 1940, the federal government spent $1 million for additional construction at the field, and it became a Naval Air Training Base, turning out 1,200 fliers yearly. It also served as a base for several reserve squadrons The cemetery is maintained by Naval Air Station personnel who continue the schedule of upkeep established by a commander of the base, Captain J. E. Savage. The inscriptions of the headstones are listed alphabetically with row and lot numbers. Beginning in the Southeast corner of the cemetery, rows are numbered from East to West, and lots are listed from South to North.
