Baccus Cemetery

Overview

Baccus Cemetery in Plano, Texas, dates to 1847, when Henry Cook established the cemetery to bury his son, Daniel. The cemetery was initially known as Cook Cemetery. After Cook died in 1862, his daughter, Rachel, acquired the land, and in 1878, she deeded it to Cook’s heirs for use as a cemetery and a church, Baccus Christian Church. While the church was later abandoned, the cemetery, known as Baccus Cemetery around 1915, is still in use.
