Wandering among the Head Stones

I love to wander old cemeteries and that love is the start of this blog. I have visited some of the oldest cemeteries in Boston, I have been to Arlington Cemetery, I have searched cemeteries for great grand parents and today I found a cemetery right here in Rosenberg, Texas. Beautiful and full of history. There is Texas history all around me as I walk among the stones. I was born in Texas. We left Texas after my mother came down with Polio during the epidemic. I have lived most of my life in Minnesota. I passed through Texas with first husband in the 1980's. I was lucky he stopped long enough for me to put my feet on Texas ground and off we went. I spent my 50Th birthday here, and ten years later here I am back in Texas but this time for at least a couple of years.
As I wandered this old cemetery all I saw was beauty. Each of these old tombstones tells a small story. Who were these people, what happened in their lives to bring them here. These are things we will probably never know. But I can at least post their tombstone and tell you their name. If there is anything else to their story maybe I will find it. But for now someone is thinking about them again right here in Rosenberg Texas.
