Geocache Description:

Dallas City Cemetery / Pauper's Cemetery is accessible by a gravel driveway on the north side of the office building at 10606 Shady Trail. The cache is a small plastic lock-n-lock.

Bring a pen to sign the log >> if you don't sign the log your online log will be deleted without notice.
Do not drive very far into the cemetery or you will be driving on graves as most of those interned here do not have markers. Approching from the north is tresspassing - do not do it. Take a little time to find some of the few tiny markers before you rush off to the next cache. They are flush with the ground so you might have to move leaves or other debris to find them.

This inactive burial ground is believed to have been used for indigent and unknown persons between 1932 and 1972. The cemetery appears to be mowed on a regular basis and dead trees, fallen limbs, and litter removed periodically.

For more information, there are two interesting web sites with info regarding this mysterious cemetery hidden in the warehouses of northwest Dallas:
