    IOOF Cemetery is our central most urban community cemetery in the south side of town, and off of…read moreEagle Drive and Carroll Blvd. I am actually a proud graduate from the University of North Texas, which changed the name from North Texas State University, in the year 1985, the year that I received my Bachelor of Arts and Sciences in Psychology, with a 3.75 GPA. I immediately applied for graduate school at the University of Houston, and was accepted by my eventual dissertation chair, Dr. Art Jago; I began my foray into the international world with an amazing externship in a newly democratic Budapest, Hungary, and its own International Management Center. At the job, I met his Royal Highness, Prince Charles, who was interested in seeing democracy in action, and easing the transition from the Russian Communist Party rule. Perestroika and Glasnost were Russia's driving slogans, meaning "Cultural Openness" and Seizing the opportunity for radical changes, which could initiate economic growth by the making the offer of a profitable venture. Cheers, Mark C. Fearing, Ph.D. graduate

    What is IOOF? Well it stands for Independent Order of Odd Fellows…read more This might sound super weird but cemeteries are great places to learn about local history! The McCormick family is buried here which so happens to be a prominent street name in Denton. Their graveyard was established in 1859 and there's people buried from Civil War time. There's also WWII and Texas Revolution veterans buried here as well. The pioneers of Denton and what made this town are the ones whose souls lie here. It's just cool to see old tombstones and to read about people. There were quite a few people who had died in a fire and I wonder if that was commonplace back then. This is also a chill spot that people go and smoke at night in. I've never done it but I imagine the spirit of Denton is cool with it.

    My family has long ties to this little spot of the Texas Black Land Prairie on the shore of Lake…read moreLewisville for at least a century. My dad and his family grew up all around before land around it sold by the square foot. It was farm land. My grandfather worked the land and helped his neighbors work their land when he came back from WWI. 70 years ago, my grandfather helped recover and move graves of many buried in ground that would be flooded by new lake (all but one lake in Texas are man-made). Now my grandfather's grave is one of many in this small-ish cemetery. Compared to the larger ones, this is somewhat rough for those infirm, unstable and not able to traverse the uneven ground, large, coarse gravel road It was a beautiful sunny day for our trip here during the cruel year known as 2020. Today's politics and attitudes would would be abhorred by those buried here. The ones I knew had strong beliefs and values besides strong and well worn hands. They help feed and clothe many North Texans for all of their lives. Most here knew the last horrific pandemic that swept through this region, often called the Spanish Flu. Many buried here help bury those taken by that horrific virus that wiped out towns and homesteads in North Texas. Today, we were burying one taken by the current pandemic, my Uncle. He was a popular and respected man who had told me stories about this area. Most were of humorous high jinx he participated in with my dad. Recalling those stories and the places he suggested I hunt and fish brought back smiles and chuckles. Stories of my farm tough grandmother sewing up wounds with reused thread that my uncle had somewhat caused or instigated. This funeral was sad not only for the loss of my uncle, but also because the COVID protocols robbed the graveside services of civility, compassion and empathy. Masks, lack of touch and social distance isolated all. It was great to come visit the graves, energy and memories. I need to come back and visit all again to feel it correctly.
