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

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 ".

That is how I feel every time I find one of my ancestor's gravestones. It does not matter if I have found it myself by visiting the cemetery or coming across it on the Internet through http://www.findagrave/ I still say " Oh My"

Tonight I am sharing the Farmer family of Richmond Texas. There are other Farmer's gravestones in this cemetery that I will have to visit.

In the Morton Cemetery buried together are

Charline Gloyd McNabb Only Daughter of Carrie Nation Buried in Richmond, Texas

A while ago I had posted on a baby Robert McNabb. There is a family of the McNabb's buried here in Richmond, Texas. I am taking pictures of the different graves and posting on http://www.findagrave.com/.


Today I received an email telling me that the Charline Gloyd McNabb I had listed at Morton Cemetery was the only daughter of Carrie Nation and her first husband Dr. Gloyd . The following is her obiturary. Read more information on Carrie if you like at http://www.kshs.org/exhibits/carry/carry5.htm

Mondays I Mourn for the Bakers of Richmond

Tonight's post is for a young family that died so young

Jas B Baker born March 19 1867 died January 7 1899 and his wife

Bessie born February 5 1867 died January 29 1898

Their grave stone is so beautiful. There is a curtain covering the top and a book laying on top of the gravestone..

A book found on a cemetery tombstone can represent many different things, including the book of life, often represented as the Bible. I would picture the Bible would be open this one is closed.

A book on a gravestone may also depict learning, a scholar.

The curtain I am not sure of could be an actor or could be the curtain of life.

All of this I do not know but is beautiful.

If any one has any ideas I would love to hear them.
