In Topic: Lake Arlington development

Anyone know the history of the cemetery on the west side of the lake on Arkansas Lane almost to the dam? We used to hang out there in high school but the road has been gated for quite some time.

It is a very old black cemetary, you will notice that is directly accross from Rose Hill. Also, we did some checking at the site and found that extends on down the hill west toward what looks like another part of the same set of plots.

In Topic: Jacksoboro Hwy

I took a tour of the Top O' Hill Terrace (now Arlington Baptist College) the other day and it revived my interest in the gambling that went on on Jacksboro highway. Does anyone have any old pics or stories to share? Does anyone know anything about the home at 5409 Jacksboro Hwy having been a gambling establishment complete with escape tunnels in the case as of a raid?


My grandfather defended Fred Browning and was almost caught in the raid. They mention the guy with the broken leg. They used to go there on Sunday night and play cards....
