Resting In the Episcopal Cemetery in Galveston Texas

Continuing my time in Galveston , today I am memorizing the Hambien family.

We are at the Episcopal Cemetery in Galveston Texas. Buried side by side is husband and wife.

Hallie J Hambien

born Jan 24 1861

died Nov 4 1889

Rest Thou Beside Thy Wife Hennie

Hennie Hambien

There Is No Death

With Hennie we have no dates, but she had to have died before or the same time as Hallie since he is resting next to her. Sad to see that Hallie was only 28 years old when he passed away.

Tombstone Tuesday Galveston Texas Episcopal Cemetery Lizzie

For Tombstone Tuesday I am continuing about my cemetery visit to Galveston, Texas and the Episcopal Cemetery.

All that I have for this gravestone is the name Lizzie. Nothing else. No dates no last name.

In front of the statue of this lady holding a baby is a small stone that says Lizzie. Head on baby is cracked.

A Whole New Cemetery To Search ... Off We Went To Galveston Texas

There must be something strange with people like us " graveyard rabbits". The excitement I felt when I first saw this old Cemetery almost in my back yard. I felt like a child at Christmas.
Hubby and I decided we would take a short trip in our own back yard. We have been in Texas since May and had not been able to go to Galveston Texas. We have visited Galveston at least twice over the last 10 years and love it there.

Off we went for a day trip this last Saturday. Our plan was to search for treasures to sell on the Internet, stop for lunch and to see the Gulf Of Mexico. Of course I could not go to Galveston with out searching for a Cemetery. Boy did I find a Cemetery. This piece of land has something like 5 to 6 Cemeteries all together but sectioned off. I will have to do more research in the near future as I take pictures there. For this visit I was able to take 10 different stones. Sweet hubby forgot to bring a book to read.

This is the first of many postings.This post is honoring.

Rebecca Henneberg

born May 5, 1823

died May 6 1885

Grave stone says " In The Memory of My Beloved Mother "

I told my hubby we need to take a day trip to Galveston at least once a month, we can hunt for treasures, go out to lunch and of course make a quick stop at the cemetery.

On the way out of town, we went a different road and what did I spot .. two more old cemeteries.

Her young and lovely sparkle from earth and grief away ?

I went to www.ancestry.com and did not find any information on this family.

Interesting note is John was 54 years old when Annie was born.

Tonight We Remember the Farmer Family of Richmond Texas

One of the main reasons I became a Graveyard Rabbit and started this blog is I love to visit Cemeteries and that I hope someone looking for their ancestor's gravestone will come across my addition and they will say " Oh My ".
