2022 Cemetery Restoration Project
Our 2022 cemetery project will be at Plano Mutual Cemetery
A modern cemetery with a storied past, Plano Mutual has a Texas Historical Marker and represents several founding families of Plano. William Forman, first official postmaster of the newly-named city of Plano is buried in Plano Mutual on land he once owned. A cemetery association was formed in 1891 and its successor still maintains the grounds. Peters Colonists Bowman, Forman and Rice gave land from adjoining properties to form the original cemetery boundaries.
Location: 18th Street just west of Jupiter
