Graveyard Wanderings in Galveston Texas

I love visiting Galveston and this old cemetery is always my first stop.

Today we are remembering the Blanton family.

This beautiful old tombstone is for

John B Blanton

Mary R Blanton

born Mar 24 1847

died Dec 24 1926

Emma R Blanton

born Dec 14 1869

died May 28 1951

I went to http://www.ancestry.com/ and did a search using John's name and found him and his family in the 1880's census. http://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?db=1880usfedcen&indiv=try&h=40459222

Mary is the mother and is widowed. John and Emma are 2 of 3 children, the third child is William. There are 2 others living in the home at this time, one being her mother. The other person is listed as not family. They are living in Galveston, Texas at this time.

I have added this family to http://www.findagrave.com/ at http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=cr&GRid=49570814&CRid=2290121&

and hope some day a family member will find them through this posting, http://www.findagrave.com/ or http://www.ancestry.com/ and find this wonderful tombstone honoring their family.

Thank you for stopping by and visiting the wanderings of this graveyardrabbit ... Grace
