Yes, I find several places with transcriptions of the names and dates of gravestones, but it's rare to find the entire epitaph on-line. It's very interesting to read the entire thing, transports you back to their time, doesn't it?<br /><br />I have not seen the Williamson County site that you are referring to. I will see if I can find it. Looking forward to your photo essay.<br /><br />JudyJudith Richards Shuberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03499186334451409604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-498704263453929327.post-82600050895705821232009-06-22T16:09:03.634-07:002009-06-22T16:09:03.634-07:00I hate to be monopolizing this, Judy, but wanted t...I hate to be monopolizing this, Judy, but wanted to tell you that I did make it back up to the Citizens' Memorial Garden this morning, and took a few more shots, and, of all things, ran out of batteries! i had never before failed to take spares, but this time I thought would have no trouble making the few photos I intended.<br /><br />I have not yet begun to assemble my photo essay on this cemetery, but was able to find what i'm sure you've known about for years....a Williamson County, Texas Digital Cemetery Project. Someone has taken the trouble to record the text that I've been trying to painstakingly read from the photographs of the stones.<br /><br />I was amused to find that some of my suppositions about the eroded dates were quite wrong.<br /><br />I'll try to give you something to read soon. I appreciate your visits.<br /><br />Willie CWillie Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02320979729663692104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-498704263453929327.post-69458817249659160122009-06-19T20:24:19.664-07:002009-06-19T20:24:19.664-07:00Hi Willie!

I think my Twitter followers saw my "tweet" about reading your blog. Glad it brought you a new visitor.<br /><br />I do feel like you do when I see the stones in the Old Georgetown Cemetery. And in others as well. I was pretty surprised when I saw the Round Rock Cemetery and some of the destruction of the old gravestones that has taken place there.<br /><br />You said you were surprised to see my post about Tom Allen's grave here. I probably did have it on my other "Bridges" blog, too. I will go and look at the other photos in your Flickr set. I noticed more tombstone pictures in the video on your front page. Have you read my post here about the Aston family and the Thomas West family buried in Tolar? I think they are two of my more interesting tales.<br /><br />Again, thanks for stopping and leaving your comments. And I'll look forward to reading more from you!<br /><br />JudyJudith Richards Shuberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03499186334451409604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-498704263453929327.post-16384385869005544942009-06-19T11:15:58.266-07:002009-06-19T11:15:58.266-07:00I just got a hit from Charles Town, West Virgina t...I just got a hit from Charles Town, West Virgina that has your name all over it. So I'm a rambling old man? Well, I'm pretty sure that's what I am.

I'd like to point you to the Kissiah Miller stone, which grabbed my imagination. A lady born in 1794 who lived 98 years.......Can't you imagine the history she must have witnessed as our country was developing, and what were her experiences? There is so much to think about in that single biographical wording on that single stone. I wonder if you might have some of the same questions that I have about these stones in the shady portion of the Old Georgetown Cemetery?<br /><br />Willie CWillie Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02320979729663692104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-498704263453929327.post-76823701409046779382009-04-28T13:48:00.000-07:002009-04-28T13:48:00.000-07:00Thank you so much, Janice.
