Galveston TX part 3 and Cemetery Humor

Zinc Marker 2Greetings — We’ve added another installment of the Galveston Texas Broadway Historic Cemetery District. Here you’ll find Indian traders and fighters, railroad men,  Masons and more.

Then, on a lighter note, another bit of Cemetery Humor.

Enjoy.

Sleepy Hollow Cemetery and Curcao

0003 dittoGreetings — some of America’s most important 19th century writers as well as titans of commerce and industry are buried in a stunning cemetery in Concord Massachusetts named Sleepy Hollow.

Then, in Willemstad Curacao, we discovered a historic Jewish cemetery that contains some of the most beautiful statuary and decorations we’ve ever seen.

Enjoy.

Galveston TX Part 2 and Other Updates

Greetings — the recent flooding in Houston has given us the opportunity to “hunker down” and catch up on previous postings. Part 2 of Galveston’s Historic Broadway Cemeteries features the port’s first harbor master, one of the early 20th century leading ladies and much more. In addition, Galapagos buddy Lonesome George and the burial rituals we wrote about Indonesia’s Tana Toraja have been in the news.

Enjoy.
