The Texas Historical Commission has recognized Dicey Cemetery, located between Azle and Weatherford of Farm-to-Market Road 730 South, as a significant part of Texas history by awarding it an Official Texas Historical Marker through the Undertold Stories Program. The historical marker honors Dicey Cemetery as an important and educational part of local history.
A dedication ceremony to commemorate the event took place Saturday May 9, at the Dicey Cemetery. Speakers for the morning were Dr. Harold Lawrence of the Museum of the Americas, Parker County Judge Pat Deen, and Jamie Bodiford Brinkley, Parker County Historical Commission.
The THC provided the Dicey Cemetery historical marker through its Undertold Stories Program, which funds applications for undertold stories from counties throughout the state. The program began in 2006 with a $100 marker application fee that was used to fund markers to address historical gaps, promote diversity of topics and document significant undertold or untold stories. The application for Dicey Cemetery was submitted in 2023 and selected as one to be awarded that year. Since 2008, THC has funded almost 100 topics throughout the state, divided among more than 60 counties.
