CEMETERIESA
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.

Confessions
of a Graveyard Junkie by Bob Bowman 10-7-12
While
other people collect antiques, postcards and coffee mugs, I spend much of my spare
time in East Texas cemeteries looking for oddball tombstones, unique inscriptions
and other reminders of people who left behind more than just a nondescript piece
of rock to mark their passing.Country
Graveyards Here and There by Bob Bowman
3-18-12
After
a lifetime in East Texas, I have grown to prefer cemeteries where the tombstones
stand high against the sky, where tall trees shade the graves most the time, and
where people get together once a year for a graveyard working and homecoming... |
| Finding
the Polancio Grave Marker
by Barclay Gibson 3-22-10
"Back in the 1870s a stage was attacked by Indians
and a man, Jose Maria Palancios, was killed. He was buried right where he fell,
at the base of the Peak and a crude rock slab had the information scratched on
it." |

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,

Heroism,
romance, betrayal, unrequited love, humor and famous last words. Pathos, bathos
