There is a concrete marker almost hidden in the ground that tells a little history of the cemetery. John Washington Glover donated the land for Willow Pond Cemetery for the burial of his grandson Jesse Glover in 1900. John Washington purchased this land for $1.00 per acre. This land was Starr Bounty Land, first owned by the family of Richard Starr, an Englishman who fought and died at the Alamo. The story goes that John fought in the last Indian fight at Oaks Crossing when a raiding party of Indians were intercepted by a band of settlers. Most of the Indians were killed and the settlers retrived stock that was taken from them.
