Here lies John Sidney "Pete" Welk... (click to read more)

The first criminal white man in Texas to get the electric chair!
I just read an article about this which I am sharing with you, and I decided to find his grave as he is buried in the Big A Cemetery here in Rowlett, Texas... just behind the big Target store.

And how did Big A Cemetery get it's name?
"What started out as a family burial ground had become a community cemetery by 1871, but wouldn't be known as Big A for at least another twenty years. It seems as if a school commonly called "Corn Stalk" by the local community members was built across the road from the cemetery back in those days and some kids painted a big "A" on the side of the building one Halloween night. The lettering stayed on the building and the school, cemetery, road and surrounding area eventually became known as Big A."
