Historic headstones, including the marker of one of Waxahachie’s first settlers and founders, Emory Rogers, were vandalized at the City Cemetery on Hawkins Street.
“This is by far the worst case of vandalism we have seen in the City Cemetery. Many of the markers that were affected are very old, and repairs will be difficult and costly,” said Gumaro Martinez, Executive Director of Parks and Leisure Services.Political Parties Don't Recruit Enough Election Workers, Some Voters Turned Away In Tarrant County
Vandals either destroyed or damaged 275 grave stones, many of which were either tipped over and/or broken. While the destruction affected both the new and historic areas of the cemetery, most of the damage happened to older stones, some of which being over 100 years old, according to police.
