I was appalled at the condition of St Mary's Cemetery in San Antonio. We will be looking at the Texas Historical Commission's Recovering a Forgotten Cemetery, to get organized for helping this little cemetery in the middle of San Antonio. TX.

As we push through the garden gate of the old homestead, we are surprised at how much smaller things are than we remembered them, and how much work needs to be done. -The Hummer-
That is very sad, so much history.
ReplyDeleteWe were at a very old cemetery on the weekend. In the oldest section were three gravestones, no dates, no names, just Mother, Father, Baby.
It really makes me wonder what happened.

I have Coynes in my family, but no known connection to Michael or any others in Texas (anything's possible, though).
ReplyDeleteKudos to you for taking this poor cemetery to the Historical Commission.
