Tombstone Tuesday Ebell Family

For Tombstone Tuesday at Morton Cemetery in Richmond Texas I am sharing and remembering the Ebell family.

This beautiful old gravestone is outstanding.

Buried here is

Annie V Ebell

Oct 28 1883

Dec 21 1903

and

John Ebell

April 18 1829

Mar 16 1894

What is written at the bottom of the gravestone is very hard to read.

appears to read

Just as the morning of her life was opening into ?

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.
