Haskell County, Rule, Texas Pinkerton Cemetery January 1989 By Ola Mae Lisle Made available to The USGenWeb Archives by Linda Howard Isbell risbell@zianet.com The Little Prairie Dale community near the center of Haskell County, Texas began to be settled about 1885 and was later changed to Pinkerton. The Pinkerton family were landowners and gave the land for the school and it is thought that they also gave land for the cemetery, but there is no record found to confirm this. The community of Rule was started nearby when the railroad was built and most of the people moved to Rule. The first grave that is dated was 1900 and on through 1920. There are 101 graves with names and date; 10 graves marked, but no names or dates.
