Mount Olivet Cemetery is a historic cemetery in Fort Worth, Texas. With its first burial in 1907, Mount Olivet is the first perpetual care cemetery in the South. Its 130-acre site is located northeast of downtown Fort Worth at the intersection of North Sylvania Avenue and 28th Street adjacent to the Oakhurst Historic District. Over 70,000 people are buried at Mount Olivet, including Fort Worth settlers and members of many prominent local families. Modeled after Mount Olivet Cemetery in Nashville, Tennessee, Fort Worth's Mount Olivet was established by Flavious McPeak (1858–1933) and his wife, Johnnie Clara Lester McPeak (1858–1936), on the former Charles B. Daggett homestead. The McPeaks, Tennessee natives, came to Fort Worth in 1894. Mrs. McPeak purchased the Daggett land, originally developed by cereal magnate C.W. Post and known locally as "Oak Hill," the following year. The McPeaks lived in a two-story home on the property until the cemetery opened in 1907. Businessman Flavious McPeak served as director of the Wireless Telegraph Company, the Western National Bank, and vice president of the Fort Worth Iron and Steel Manufacturing Company.
