Subject: Re: Lonesome Dove
Response to #3:
Lonesome Dove Baptist Church (est. 1846) has long ago surpassed the capacity of the
existing cemetery located on our property. We have turned down requests from our owr
members and our neighbors in Southlake and neighboring communities for burial plots
in this historic cemetery.
Therefore, in order to better serve our growing church membership and the surrounding
communities, we are requesting this expansion. We are committed to preserving the
historic character of this cemetery by utilizing additional split rail fencing with stone
pillars for the additional space as has been done around the existing cemetery
plots. Further, the funds received for these additional plots will serve not only to
preserve and maintain the expanded cemetery but will supplement future expansion of
church facilities and our community services."
Regarding the number of plots:
The existing cemetery area encompasses approx. 700 plots.
The additional expansion will yield approx. 300 plots depending on plot size and layout.
Please contact me if you have any questions or need clarification. Do you know when
this will go before the board? Does Dove Church need to make payment or will we
reimburse JPHL?
Thanks for your help.
