MALLORY MONUMENT
Brad Cemetery
The top photograph was taken in January of 2009 and the bottom one in April of 2010. In my first post showing the Mallory Monument I promised to go back to Brad and take a picture of the back of the stone. It did not have any names on it, and I assume it was placed there as a family monument. The other Mallory headstones found nearby are pictured below.
When my husband and I arrived at the cemetery there was a light misty rain falling and he decided to stay in the Suburban. Usually he gets out and helps me find names or stones that I may be searching for, or he just walks along in his own thoughts. Sometimes you'll even see him off in the distance in one of my pictures! That day he took the opportunity to just sleep.

The most delightful surprise was the beautiful wildflowers, particularly the bluebonnets, that covered the graves in this often lonely feeling cemetery.

Beautiful pictures, Judy. I think this is a pretty cemetery. The child's tombstone with the angel crying is so sad.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Debbie. I was so pleased to see the bluebonnets that day. Yes, the child's headstone with the crying angel is sad. I wish I had taken a closer look at it.
ReplyDeleteToday I couldn't wait to log on to your blog. You see, today I am in Watauga and Sissy and I went past the Smithfiled Cem. I remembered you wrote about it before so I am using your site as a research tool. There are LOTS of cemeteries around here. Wanna get together?
ReplyDeleteHi Diane! Wouldn't that be fun? We spent the day in Mineral Wells today working on the old high school memorial room - getting ready for the reunion in 2 weeks. We've just gotten back home (4:15 pm) and I've logged in to see my messages. Will you be here for several day? I would love to meet you. It's fantastic and so flattering for you to use my blog as a research tool!
ReplyDeleteThe Bluebonnets make this graveyard so peaceful, so beautiful! I really love your work and your blog!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your kind comments "Traveled"! Brad Cemetery is one of my favorite ones in Palo Pinto County. And I agree, the bluebonnets are beautiful. Thanks for reading.
ReplyDeleteI am a north Texas resident and a descendent of the Mallories in England as these folks.
ReplyDeleteSaw your blog listed at Geneabloggers and decided to check it out. I loved reading your post and I felt guilt since I have not taken the time to take photos of my ancestor graves. DO have a few but I can always do better.
ReplyDeleteTake care,

Hi Anonymous!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you found my blog post about the Palo Pinto County Mallorys. It's exciting for me to know readers sometime still find a connection in one of cemetery jaunts or posts. Please visit again.
Moises, I am pleased that you checked out my blog on Texas Cemeteries. How rewarding for me to know that you and others enjoy my writing and photos. Don't feel guilt ~ I have so much more to add to my blogs, but seems the time just seems to get shorter and shorter! I'm anxious to go to your blogs and see if I can find some of my cousins there.
Isn't Geneabloggers great?
Judy
