I was drawn to it because of the tombstone of Margaret Miller Henderson (you have a picture of it just below and to the right of the one titled "vandalism.")In 1905 Maggie Henderson was head of a woman's group in Brady, TX. A young girl of 13, Waldine Tauch, entered a figure carved from butter for the dairy competition at the county fair. People were so impressed they collected money and convinced famous sculptor Pompeo Coppini to take her as a student as soon as she finished high school in 1910. When Maggie died in 1917, Waldine carved that tombstone from solid granite for her benefactor. If you have ever flown through Love Field in Dallas you have seen Tauch's sculpture of a Texas Ranger. There are many of here sculptures throughout the United States.Othon Frieszhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01062031433857919076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9177479069889847827.post-86917180057514041672014-04-03T18:54:25.202-04:002014-04-03T18:54:25.202-04:00Thank you, Phillip!

I spent many hours wandering Richmond Cemetery when I lived down there. It is a wonderful place to go to walk and think. And you are so right - it is a beautiful treasure!Joy Neighborshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06517577511576153582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9177479069889847827.post-40894614195719010152014-04-03T18:51:02.401-04:002014-04-03T18:51:02.401-04:00Hi Terri, Richmond Cemetery is such a classic, pea...Hi Terri, Richmond Cemetery is such a classic, peaceful place to go. I love those old stones, and it always seems to have a nice but moody vibe. There are several old, quaint cemeteries around there. And, if you haven't been to Lexington Cemetery - GO! It will be a day well spent.Joy Neighborshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06517577511576153582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9177479069889847827.post-71088234420205217632014-03-27T17:47:09.035-04:002014-03-27T17:47:09.035-04:00What a joy to stumble across your site.

In fact, my parents and great-grandparents are buried no more than about 40-50 yards from James Estill. Cassius Clay (who was also at one time the ambassador to Russia)was a personal friend of my great-grandparents, and I have an autographed copy of his memoirs given to my family. I've spent countless hours walking through the cemetery, and it is indeed a treasure. Thanks for the work that you've done!<br />- Phillip MillionAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9177479069889847827.post-30928968681946138472014-03-19T09:29:42.946-04:002014-03-19T09:29:42.946-04:00I also am on find a grave.

I have taken several pics that i am going to put into print and frame them. As soon as i get a request, i try to go ahead and take them. I moved to Richmond in Dec. 2011 so some of these cemeteries i have a hard time finding.

He looks for the things that are out of place - flowers duct taped to a stone or odd juxtapositions. I look for sculpture and beauty, something that tells a story. And I too love the tree stones!

I find it truley interesting and fulfilling to help others . I have been able to locate a lot of my own relative's burial sites through this endeavor. I especially like WOW markers. I still have not been able to involve my Husband in this, but he will let me take pictures at Cemeteries on our travels to other states. Thank you for this site. Will be adding it to my Favorites.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
