 PLEASANT HILL CEMETERY 

(photo by Amy Cumbie)

    The Pleasant Hill cemetery is located Southwest of Bullard, Texas, on the east side of FM 2137 just before its junction with FM 855.  Enclosed in a hurricane fence, this small cemetery is well main­tained and easily accessed.  Marked burials began in the mid 1850's making it one of the older cemeteries in this area.  Current burials seem to be rare with the last occurring in 1989. 

This survey was done Nov-1996 by Ira Gaylon White.
