TEXAS
CEMETERIES
A 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.

of Nicaragua Smith Still Haunts Graveyard by W. T. Block, Jr.
8-14-06
If you should ever pass near the Old City Cemetery in Galveston
on the night of January 8th, you might hear a screaming voice out
of the ocean mists...
The
Legend of Ann Eliza's Grave 5-8-06

no other grave ever received more attention than that of Ann Eliza
Pavell."
Samuel
Everitt Rogers' Grave 4-12-06

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....

Grave
Thoughts
Heroism, romance,
betrayal, unrequited love, humor and famous last words. Pathos, bathos
and lassos. Think of it as a Texas Spoon River.

Texas
War Casualties by John Troesser
Delhi, Smithville and Praha. Stone markers and chapels quietly reveal
where America gets its soldiers.
Menard
Grave
by Mike Cox
A few folks knew of a solitary tombstone surrounded by a fence in
a live oak mott east of Menard off what locals call River Road (FM
2092)...
Sarah
by Mike Cox
If Sarah is buried in Bosque County, her tombstone either has been
lost or the devoted genealogists and grassroots historians who have
recorded most of the inscriptions in the county's 126 cemeteries
somehow have missed her. She needs to be found and a historical
marker placed at her grave.
