Mount Cemetery is on the north edge of Chico. Go north out of town on Mount Street or CR 1550 and you will see the sign and the cemetery just off the road on the west.
At the grave of Robert C. Mount in the northwest corner of the cemetery was a marker that read:
State Historical Survey Committee Robert Calvin Mount Born in Tennessee. Came to Texas 1855 and was elected first assessor-collector of taxes, Wise County 1856. A first lieutenant, Blythes militia in Civil War. Built fort-like rock home near Chico, 1874. An outstanding pioneer of Wise County. Recorded 1967 |
The 'Mount House' is to the north of the cemetery. It can be seen from the cemetery as shown in the picture above. The 'House' at one time had a historical marker, but it was taken to the Wise County Heritage Museum because the house was in disrepair.
At the time of my survey in Septermber of 2000 there were 30 headstones at Mount Cemetery. My survey of the headstones was divided into 8 rows starting in the southeast corner. They were numbered (#) in that order. The information and links to headstone pictures follow:
