Clark Cemetery is a common burial ground for early pioneer settlers who camped along the Clear Fork of the Trinity River, with many burial sites dating from the 1830s. In December 1853, Reverend John William Godfrey (1825-1897) and his wife, Anzaline (Barker) Godfrey (1831-1859), arrived in Parker County from Missouri, and Godfrey established a Methodist church in the Wright Community northeast of Weatherford, where they lived. After Anzaline died in 1859, she was buried in the Wright Community burial grounds. In 1880, Jim Clark and William Henry Ward formally established a permanent cemetery at the original location of Godfrey’s Chapel Methodist Church. Signed documents in 1953 deeded tract no. 1 and no. 2 of the land as burial plot property, and additional land was added in 1958 and 1999. In addition to numerous pioneer families and farmers, the cemetery is the final resting place of a founder of early Parker County Methodist churches, an organizer of Jack County, a trustee of an early pioneer school, and a county chief justice. The oldest marked headstone belongs to Anzaline Godfrey, and ground penetrating radar discovered sixty-five unidentified burial sites from the pioneer era. Military service is represented by veterans of the Texas Rangers, the Civil War, World War I, World War II, Vietnam, and the Korean War. The cemetery landscape includes live oak, elm, and post oak trees, along with a limestone and steel entrance gate, restrooms, and a covered pavilion, and the Clark Cemetery Association continues to care for it.
