Texas Historical Commission Marker: Blewett Cemetery - Established for family
and community burials by the Rev. George L. Blewett, this cemetery was first
used in 1855 after the death of his daughter, Ann. A Cumberland Presbyterian
minister, Blewett had come to Texas in 1853 with his family and other pioneers
from Kentucky. Nine of his children are buried here as are George (d.1884) and
his wife Nancy (d.1903). The Blewett Cemetery was for many years associated with
the Cumberland Presbyterian Church and until the mid-1920's was one of the
primary burial grounds for the Richardson Community. (1985)

Additional Comments:
The Blewett Cemetery is located on a busy suburban corner about 2 blocks east of
Hwy 75 (N. Central Expwy) on the NW corner of Arapaho and N. Grove Roads,
Richardson, Dallas Co. TX. The small cemetery is bounded by a locked, low iron
fence. I was able to enter through a break in the fence. Note: There is no
public parking nearby. I received permission to park from a business across the
roadway. The parking lots are "towing enforced" so use caution.
