Garvin Memorial Cemetery

The Garvin Memorial Cemetery is located on Northwest Highway between Midway Rd. and Lemmon Ave. Several prominent Dallas pioneer residents are buried in the cemetery. In 1868, the cemetery was founded by a Methodist minister, the Rev. W.H. Hughes. The original benefactor, James G. Garvin, donated the land to the public in April, 1897 for a "respectful burying ground".
