society cannot call itself civilized if it does not honor the final resting places
of its antecedents. With our expanding coverage we join forces with others in
their efforts to preserve and protect the state's scattered and neglected cemeteries.

Legend of Ann Eliza's Grave 5-8-06

became a byword among the Sabine River boatmen that no other grave ever received
more attention than that of Ann Eliza Pavell." Samuel

Fairmount
Cemetery by Bob Bowman 1-24-06
"Cemeteries
are not just resting places for the dearly departed; they are also repositories
of a community’s history--from its beginning to the present. Such is Fairmount
Cemetery, a well-kept graveyard nestled among the pines and oaks of southeastern
Sabine County, near the Texas-Louisiana border." |

I
don't know where Columbus City Cemetery is.....never cared. But this great piece
on Live Oaks
and Dead Folks is fantastic! I will be planning a trip next year just for
this fun time. I love the writing style and the information makes it come alive
(so to speak). Please keep up the good work! I have found you and plan to read
and read and read...then maybe mosey on down the road a piece. - Sandy Knebel,
Garland.... by way of Waxahachie, December 17, 2005 |

most of the inscriptions in the county's 126 cemeteries somehow have missed her.
