Just read the note on discovering the burial place of
Shadrack Calloway & family. In 1960 I moved to Richland
Hills from Houston. A large 2 story home with columns
was sitting vacant....on the grounds was a tombstone
for Shade Calloway. When we inquired about the home
we were told that the land had been purchased and that
a light industrial park was to be built, later a new
Sam's Club was built across the sidestreet from this
home. The house was demolished. The house backed up to Baker Blvd., which is now State
Hwy 26. The cemetery is in Haltom City, originally Birdville, TX, at one time the county
seat of Tarrant County (the seat now is Fort Worth).
I was a teenager when we discovered the home and tombstone
and regretably never pursued it any further.
