Welcome Friends
This site: (www.clarkcemetery.org) is the Official Clark Cemetery Association Site dedicated to the memory, preservation and history of our family members interred at Clark Cemetery in Parker County, Texas.
Its companion site, Clark Cemetery Association History Site (www.clarkcemeteryhistory.org) makes the memory of ancestors and pioneers of the area vivid through photos, biographical sketches, and stories. See the history pages on this site and links to biographical sketches of founding pioneers under History>Early Ancestors above. A brief history of Clark Cemetery is provided on this site. See highlights of the Marker Celebration too.
A Texas Historic Cemetery, Clark Cemetery was officially declared a historic cemetery in Texas by the Texas Historical Commission (THC) on February 16, 2011, and its Official Dedication from THC was recorded in the same month. The THC and the Clark Cemetery Association, along with members and guests, celebrated its Historic Marker Dedication on October 12, 2013.
You can view a gallery of photos and videos of the Dedication Ceremony and the Clark Cemetery Association Annual Meetings on our photos and videos.
You can find directions to Clark Cemetery under the Find Clark tab and information about our Association at the About Clark tab. Our official By-Laws are on the By-Laws tab.
