Annual Pioneer Picnic at W. W. Glover Cemetery
Saturday, May 1, 2021
Cemetery behind the church at 6670 Military Parkway, Dallas, Texas, 10:00 AM
Dear Pioneer Descendants,
You are invited to the Annual Pioneer Picnic to be held the first Saturday in May, being May,
1, 2021. Step inside the wrought iron gate and into the relaxing atmosphere under the
canopy of the beautiful oak trees. Before and after the meal, many sit in a big circle to talk
and alternately, walk to look at tombstones With few remaining tombstones, children can
enjoy the park-like setting the same as they would a park. You might want to bring flowers
to place on some graves in honor of the pioneers. The history and family connections for
many have been researched. (For information email krtexas@afo.net).
Everyone can be there as early as 10:00. Remember to bring your lawn chairs and insect
repellent. The hosts will be assembling a canopy and setting up the food tables. If you
would like to share in a picnic around noon, we will provide plates and plastic ware. Come
any time, and if interested in the meal bring food to share or your own separate lunch.
The total care of the cemetery is financed and overseen by a very few descendants and we
respectfully ask you to join us. Maintenance (in addition to mowing, tree trimming, and
fencing) should include repairing the tombstones. Many tombstones have been vandalized
and stolen in the past and as time goes on the remaining tombstones are damaged by the
elements. Donations can be given in honor of your family. Please make checks payable to
Dallas County Pioneer Association (DCPA is a 501[c]3 organization, EIN 75-1641669). Make
your donation in person at the picnic or mail to:

Please post this on social media so others can be informed of the picnic, the cemetery, and
their ancestors. Check out the announcement that should be on the website of Dallas
County Pioneer Association under “Latest News”: dallaspioneer.org/category/outings
