Founded in 1836?
It's great that there is an interest in the Founders Memorial Cemetery.

I do find one claim in the article dubious. It says, "The cemetery opened in 1836 as simply "City Cemetery" to accommodate a growing number of deaths in Houston." The first town lot sold on January 1, 1837 and other the next town lots did not sell until January 18th or 19th. The cemetery might have been founded in 1836, but not as the "City Cemetery." The source cited does not make this claim. This looks like a year shoehorned later in order to jibe with the Texas centennial in 1936. Despite this, there is no direct claim by the source that a "City Cemetery" or "Houston Cemetery was founded in 1836, and other things known about the area in 1836 would seem to refute it.Oldsanfelipe (talk) 12:39, 7 November 2017 (UTC)
