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.

Texas Forum:
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 |
Ghost
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
"It soon
became a byword among the Sabine River boatmen that 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." |
Grave
Thoughts Heroism,
romance, betrayal, unrequited love, humor and famous last words. Pathos, bathos
and lassos. Think of it as a Texas Spoon River. Go
see your old people, write it down by Delbert Trew
For
reasons not understood yet, the past month has provided several incidents in which
cemeteries were included. As I review the various happenings it gets a bit spooky
at best.Ranger
Cemeteries by Mike Cox
Except for the occasional thunder-like sound
of a jet taking off or landing at Austin’s Bergstrom International Airport, the
small cemetery could be out in the middle of nowhere...Monumental

“The

love and memory.” Humor
in graveyards by Bob Bowman Feature
"Traveling across East Texas, graveyard visitors
are often rewarded with... humorous and poignant tombstone inscriptions."

War Casualties by John Troesser
Delhi, Smithville and Praha. Stone

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."Ghosts
