According to Mansfield Historical Society, Nov 11, 2001: "The area where the present Rendon Cemetery stands was deeded to the community by W.L. Norwood in 1897. The first grave is disputed to be either Elizabeth (Lizzie) Huston, a member of the Washam family, or as another source reports, the grave of a baby resting under present F.M. 1187. The early care of the cemetery was accepted by the citizens of the community as their responsibility. Most were farmers and would take a day off from their duties to have a general cleaning when necessary. Later, interested people formed a cemetery association. It was organized on May 29, 1955 at the Retta Baptist Church. In 1957, the Association decided to raise funds for a fence around the cemetery and in 1964, at a total cost of $1,085.50 the project was complete. Today, the cemetery had reached near its capacity and it had become necessary to close it. Many pioneer spirits were laid to rest in the Rendon Cemetery."

No cause has been assigned for the suicide. It is reported that the doctor had been depressed during the past few days. He was a native of this state, having been born and reared near Mansfield in Tarrant county. He is survived by his wife and one daughter, Mora. He is also survived by his father and a brother who live in Young county. Funeral arrangements are being delayed pending the arrival of his father."
