If Betty Henderson ever wanted a trip down memory lane, she only needs to walk out of her front door to the porch. She is 85 years old and has practically lived her whole life in the Douglass community in Plano.
"I have family out there, so I enjoy sitting out here," Henderson said looking out at the Davis Cemetery right in front of her home.
In East Plano, both Old City and Davis cemeteries are side-by-side. Once segregated with a fence between them, they are now one cemetery.
Jeff Campbell of the Plano Conservancy has been working on a project to identify the missing headstones. The gaps on the property tell him there are unmarked graves there.
"This may not be my family, but it's somebody's family," Campbell said.
The nearly 4-year project required special radar equipment to detect the graves. They identified 29 unmarked graves on the property. That's 29 stories that have gone unheard.
"A lot of people just lost track, even the soldiers that are out there buried," Henderson said. She said her father and sisters were once buried on the property.
Campbell and his group hope to connect those graves with names soon. A cemetery association and a genealogist are helping, but it is no easy task.
"There's a lot of stories that have not been told — lots and lots," Henderson said.
