There are a few Smiths buried in the beautiful little historical Ramsey cemetery between Stephenville and Lingleville. There are also many who were marked unknown by the Ramsey Cemetery Association. I have placed the few pictures that I took of the Smiths here on this post. It is a beautiful little cemetery that is well cared for.</div><br />

The top photograph was taken in January of 2009 and the bottom one in April of 2010. In my first post showing the <a href="http://cemeterieswithtexasties.blogspot.com/2010/02/mallory-family-in-brad-cemetery.html">Mallory Monument</a> 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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />

<span style="font-size: small;">This possibly could be the original entrance to the cemetery. It looks like a hitching post to the right, but this could be conjecture on my part. I have not found any information on the cemetery other than what is written on the Texas Historical Commission sign.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Zion Hill Church School and Cemetery</b></span></div>
<blockquote style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">"Zion Hill was named by early settler Samuel Wolfenberg who deeded 4 acres for a school / church and cemetery in 1877. Zion Hill School, established in 1868, operated until 1927 when it merged with the Peaster School system. The school building also housed early church services. Zion Hill Church was organized in 1871. The first recorded burial is that of Wolfenberg's granddaughter, Margaret Lionberger, in 1879. The cemetery covers 6 acres and contains more than 700 burials including at least 8 Civil War veterans and many veterans of World War I and World War II."</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">The first Plumlee headstone I came upon in Zion Hill was this one which has been </span><span style="font-size: small;">preserved. The broken pieces found and placed on a base of concrete stone in order to protect what remains of this once lovely memorial to a beloved family member. There were several markers for Plumlee family members in the same area of the cemetery. They were placed near the entrance on the south side and along the east and north side. Near this broken stone the next three grave markers were found and then the following headstones and markers. I have posted all of the photos of Plumlee markers that I saw for those who are researching the Plumlee / Sapp line in Parker County.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Zion Hill is also the burial place of several of my Richards ancestors, including my great-grandparents, Joshua Hooper Richards and Elizabeth "Sallie" Conway Richards. They are not far from some of the Plumlee family graves, reinforcing my belief that there is a tie to them through the Sapp family line. Joshua Hooper Richards is the grandson of Charles Harrison Richards and Mary "Polly" Sapp Richards of Shelby County, Texas and originally from Alabama.<br />

</span></span></span></div>In the year 1887 the St Louis and Southwestern Railway built their tracks close to the area called Zion in Tarrant County, Texas. As happened with many little towns like this, it was eventually abandoned after the people and businesses began to drift away and relocate closer to the railroad where a new development grew up. This new settlement was called Smithfield, for Eli Smith, the resident who donated land for a church and cemetery.<br />
<br />
"By the late 1940s Smithfield reported 350 residents and eight businesses. Nearby North Richland Hills annexed Smithfield in 1958. The Smithfield name survives in several local institutions, including a middle school, and on historical markers at the Smithfield cemetery, Masonic lodge, and two churches."<br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><blockquote>A native of Missouri, Eli Smith moved to Texas in 1859 with his parents. They settled in this part of Tarrant County, and in 1868 Smith married Sarah J. Hightower. About 1876 Smith donated part of his farmland to the community, then known as Zion, for a Methodist Church and cemetery. Residents of the area honored Smith for his generosity and community service by renaming the settlement Smithfield. Smith remained an active Mason and a successful farmer until his sudden death shortly before his thirty-first birthday. He is buried at this site. <span style="font-size: 85%;">(1984)</span></blockquote><br />

He was the second son of Jacob and Rebecca (Troup) Formwalt born in Knoxville, Tennessee on April 22, 1820. His great-grandparents were of German birth and came to America in colonial days.<br /><br />When a young boy John received his primary education in the subscription schools of the time and pursued his studies there until he was twelve years old. At age eighteen he went to a private school taught by an Englishman in the mountains of Alabama.<br /><br />In the year 1840, young John A. Formwalt made his first visit to Texas. He stayed in Red River County for six months and then returned to Tennessee, having made the trip on horseback. He spent some years in Pontotoc County, Mississippi, where he worked as clerk and bookkeeper for a mercantile firm, but when his abilities and reliable character came to be recognized he was elected to the office of county clerk. He remained in that position from 1847 to 1849, when he was forced to seek a change of climate because of failing health.<br /><br />This was in 1849, when the California gold fever was intense; and with others he journeyed to the Pacific slope, where he engaged in mining for nearly two years. He returned to his home in Mississippi and a year later, selling out his interests there, he emigrated to East Texas. He made the trip with ox teams and reached Anderson County after traveling for three months! When there, he purchased and operated a farm for two years and then moved to Palestine in the same county, where he was appointed postmaster, serving in that capacity for three years.<br /><br />He resumed farming and in 1859 purchased a section of land near Thorp Spring in Hood County close to the town of Granbury. He was a very important man in the development of Hood County and was known to take an active part in its affairs and was recognized as a "wide-awake," progressive and valued citizen.<br /><br />Major Formwalt was a Democrat, though he never was a politician. He was first appointed to the office of Justice of the Peace to fill a vacancy and was subsequently elected to the same office three times. He was a Master Mason in good standing for 25 years or more, and in religious belief he was a Presbyterian.

Formwalt's memorials are on this tall, impressive monument located in a shady, beautiful spot under an old, magnificent cedar in Granbury Cemetery in Hood County.<br /><br />Major Formwalt was always a leader and after Civil War broke out, he enlisted as a private in Captain William Shannon's company to serve in the Confederate Army; but in the following spring Colonel A. Nelson, to whom this company reported, noticed the qualities of leadership that this young private possessed, and sent Formwalt to the Brazos settlement to raise a company. He soon accomplished this. Formwalt was elected its captain, and he and his men immediately reported to Colonel Nelson's Tenth Regiment of Texas Infantry. This noted regiment, upon the promotion of Colonel Nelson, was subsequently commanded by Colonel Roger Q. Mills, and Major Formwalt participated in all the many desperate battles in which his command took part.<br /><br />Major Formwalt was captured January 11, 1862, at Arkansas Post, and suffered imprisonment at Columbus, Ohio, for five months, when he was exchanged. After that time his service was in the Army of the Tennessee. At the battle of Franklin, Tennessee, in the assault led by Generals Pat Cleburne and Hiram B. Granbury, Formwalt, as senior captain, led his regiment to the charge and fell, severely wounded, being one among many other heroes whose blood was shed that day. He was not mortally wounded, however, and was afterward promoted to the rank of major.<br /><br />Not long after the war ended, Major Formwalt returned home, began a mercantile business in Granbury but soon returned to the farm which had been badly wasted during the years he was gone. His wife and children had faced many hardships and dangers known only to those who were within the territory so frequently invaded by the Indians. Much of his property was wasted and gone, but he resumed the labors of a civilian and soon again became prosperous.<br /><br /><blockquote>"Though spending his later years in judicial office, the military title of Major is far more fitting to Mr. Formwalt than that of judge, for, possessing the bluntness and courage of the Scottish chief, he combines with it the grace and courtesy of the faithful Christian gentleman. Deeply imbued with sentiments of patriotic devotion to his country, had his life been spent under favoring circumstances, honor and glory might alike have attached to his name and fixed it well upon the pages of his country's history; but as the fatality of events have decreed he is now serving his neighbors in the humble office of magistrate at the age of seventy-six years, but with buoyant step and figure erect appears not to exceed sixty. It has already been fitly written:<br /></blockquote><blockquote>'The march of the soldier is ending;<br />On the hilltops over the river<br />The campfire lights are ascending<br />To our God, the merciful giver,<br />Where comrades assembling in glory<br />At the heavenly gates are waiting;<br />While mortals in song and in story,<br />Their valorous deeds are relating.'

His gravemarker indicates that he was the 2nd police officer killed in the line of duty. However, if the following narrative is correct, it seems that he might have had a personal score to settle.<br /><br />Officer Tom Allen is listed on the <a href="http://www.austinpolice.com/officerskilled.htm">Austin Police Association website</a> as having been "Austin's only African-American police officer since the death of John Gaines" two years earlier in 1913. Gaines was shot by George Booth, a deputy constable, at 6th Street and Trinity Street on November 19 of that year.<br /><br />Officer Allen was shot and killed October 24, 1915, at Jennings' Drug Store in the 400 block of East 6th Street. Officer Allen and the editor of a black newspaper in San Antonio had earlier had an argument. Officer Allen, angered by reports that he had mistreated several African-American women he had arrested, confronted the editor by the wagon yard near Red River Street. When the editor walked away, Officer Allen then followed the man to Jennings' drugstore. The editor drew a handgun from a briefcase and shot Officer Allen as he entered the drugstore, having "his own gun drawn and ready." A newspaper story at the time reported that Officer Allen was killed only thirty feet from the site where Officer John Gaines had died two years earlier.<br /><br />Round Rock Cemetery was established in the early 1850s in what is now known as Old Round Rock. It is the burial place of many area pioneers and outstanding Round Rock citizens. The oldest legible gravemarker is that of 11-year-old Angeline Scott, which has a date of 1851. However, there are many, many unmarked graves that could date from long before that time.<br /><br />The cemetery is spread out over 4 1/2 acres of land which sits beside the busy Sam Bass Road and is surrounded by homes and businesses. It is in fair condition but there are many markers (particularly crypts) that are cracked or broken. It is well mowed, however, and the Texas Historical Commission marker at the front entrance says that it is cared for by the Round Rock Cemetery Association.<br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">Sources:</span></span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;"><a href="http://www.austinpolice.com/officerskilled.htm#john">Austin Police Association</a><br />Round Rock Cemetery, Sam Bass Road,<br /></span><span style="font-style: italic;">Round Rock, Williamson County, Texas</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Picture taken by Judith Richards Shubert, May 2, 2009 (c)</span></span>Judith Richards Shuberthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03499186334451409604noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-498704263453929327.post-85724915911022008792009-04-28T11:01:00.000-07:002016-10-05T05:19:49.247-07:00"Asleep in Jesus!"

"Asleep in Jesus! blessed sleep, From which none<br />
ever wakes to weep"<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
This beautiful gravemarker is that of a 10-year old child. Notice the height of the familiar tree- or woodsmen of the world design. It is only one-half or one-third as tall as those placed at adults graves. Also, there is a lamb on the marker which usually was used on children's gravestones.<br />
<br />
In 1917 The General Council Publication House in Philadelphia published <span style="font-style: italic;">Favorite Hymns </span>by William Lee Hunton.<sup>1</sup> It contains "stories of the origin, authorship, and use of hymns we love." A copy of this book was stamped May 11, 1918, Andover-Harvard Theological Library, Harvard Divinity School.<br />
<br />
The author writes that hymns concerning death and burial soothes the grieving and the message in them comforts and reaches the soul. Mr. Hunton states that many hymns of Christian experience are especially helpful for the dying, and comforting to the living who mourn. But there are hymns which seem solely to be messages of comfort for those who mourn the departure of loved ones. Among these is one which was penned by a woman, Margaret Mackay.<br />
<br />
It is the first two lines of this hymn which adorns the child's gravestone above.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 130%; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">A Woman's Hymn Concerning Death</span><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<blockquote>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Asleep in Jesus! blessed sleep,<br />
From which none ever wakes to weep:<br />
A calm and undisturbed repose,<br />
Unbroken by the last of foes.<br />
<br />
Asleep in Jesus! o how sweet,<br />
To be for such a slumber meet;<br />
With holy confidence to sing<br />
That death has lost his venomed sting.<br />
<br />
Asleep in Jesus! peaceful rest,<br />
Whose waking is supremely blest:<br />
No fear, no woe, shall dim that hour<br />
That manifests the Saviour's power.<br />
<br />
Asleep in Jesus! oh, for me<br />
May such a blissful refuge be!<br />
Securely shall my ashes lie,<br />
And wait the summons from on high.</div>
</blockquote>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
The hymn which appeared first in "The Amethyst; or, Christian Annual," for 1832, was occasioned by the author, Mrs. Mackay, of Hedgefield, England, reading an inscription on a tombstone in a rural burying-ground in Devonshire.<br />
<br />
Later, in writing concerning her verses, the writer says, the burying-ground referred to is that of Pennycross Chapel. It is a few miles distant from a busy seaport, and is reached by a succession of lovely green lanes. The quiet aspect of the Pennycross "God's Acre" comes soothingly over the mind, suggesting at once the thought of "Sleeping in Jesus." Certainly the thought, which is the thought of Christ and strictly biblical, is beautifully emphasized for the comforting of countless mourning ones, as well as for the staying of the souls of many as they are about to fall into that sleep which knows no earthly awakening.<br />

Houx.<br />Born Mar 19. 1880<br />Died Sept 14. 1880<br /><br /><br /></div>Alexander Houx was born in the year 1851 in Missouri. He married Mollie E. who was also born in Missouri on April 3, 1845. She died March 31, 1880, twelve days after giving birth to their daughter, Margaret E. "Maggie" Houx, on March 19. Baby Maggie lived only 5 short months before she followed her angel mother home on September 14th.<br /><br />Alexander and Mollie had one other child, two-year old Omer A. Houx, born May 10, 1878 in Texas. Omer moved to Oregon as an adult but must have returned to Texas, as he is also buried in the Brad Cemetery.<br /><br />Alexander and his two-year old son, Omer, were found in the 1880 U.S. Federal Census, Palo Pinto County, Texas, District 155, on page 126C. Alexander stated that he was a white, widowed 29-year old, born in Missouri in 1851 and that his father and mother were both born in Missouri, as well. Omer was shown as being born in Texas and the son of Alexander.<br /><br />I could not determine what the gravestone was made of; however, it appeared as if the original marker had been broken, attached to a stone marker and then possibly broken again at the base. It is now lying on the ground. Over all, however, the memorial is a beautiful marker.<br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Sources:</span><br />This family was found on <a href="http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/%7Efreshnup/markmurph/pafg13.htm#222">RootsWeb Freepages:Mark Murphy Genealogy</a> and accessed by me March 7, 2009.<br /><a href="http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Search/frameset_search.asp?PAGE=census/search_census.asp">FamilySearch.org Census Search Records</a><br />Photographs taken by Judith Richards Shubert 1-22-2009 (c)<br /></span>Judith Richards Shuberthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03499186334451409604noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-498704263453929327.post-18505647570415625652009-03-06T14:22:00.000-08:002009-03-06T15:06:37.436-08:00Brad Cemetery on Thomas Lindsey Land in Palo Pinto County<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9a7ps7kBiNdxtX0e-wEuAy96-wbHHs6AUQ2R38VSvjqx-VEKiQm23mLoi3t6LPOHkIm1m-QU0-LIwQyCERL2hp9M3L-6HIRZUoPSTIMep5QBHANG7LE4N-vrTSNUtlA-I4ZTfVtj0ck4/s1600-h/P1010641.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9a7ps7kBiNdxtX0e-wEuAy96-wbHHs6AUQ2R38VSvjqx-VEKiQm23mLoi3t6LPOHkIm1m-QU0-LIwQyCERL2hp9M3L-6HIRZUoPSTIMep5QBHANG7LE4N-vrTSNUtlA-I4ZTfVtj0ck4/s400/P1010641.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5310205476601362098" border="0" /></a>As the Texas Historical Commission sign dated 1998 states, the Brad Cemetery began with a few graves on Thomas Lindsey land in the 1870s. A traveler through the harsh terrain of north Texas lost his young daughter near there and Mr. Lindsey allowed him to bury her on his land.

As I scanned the slight rise and small clump of cedar and oak that stood between me and my goal, I was taken by surprise by the tiny metal enclosure that was fashioned into what appeared to me to be a baby’s bed.

Eddleman and David EddlemanLouisa J. Scarborough has a small, almost child-like face in the photograph that Debbie Blanton posted a few days ago at <a href="http://blantonroots.blogspot.com/2009/02/whos-number-21.html">Blanton Family Roots and Branches</a>. I was so pleased to see the picture because Debbie and I had discussed her several days before that. Debbie told me where she was buried in Mount Pleasant Cemetery, and since I've been going there recently to take pictures and research some of the family names found in that old Hood County Cemetery, I went again to take another picture of her and her husband, David Eddleman's gravestones. David's gravestone appears in my post, <a href="http://cemeterieswithtexasties.blogspot.com/2008/12/hood-county-texas-csa-veterans-southern.html">Hood County Texas CSA Veterans</a> and I wasn't pleased with my efforts the first time I photographed it.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHxg8kSgaMHMFfkpLMCNzszLDVDnQDCo8i8p1vAedomxnccxMcEIemWdB3JMdhejn_go5UY0QeuGFSV7zlZv4UJp3FevMY7E1NbFEkXnh1C2-tZ9Etfm5cI7dh1tFKbsigDwTjpkO3MSY/s1600-h/Eddleman+Ddavid+edtd+2+P1010066.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 336px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHxg8kSgaMHMFfkpLMCNzszLDVDnQDCo8i8p1vAedomxnccxMcEIemWdB3JMdhejn_go5UY0QeuGFSV7zlZv4UJp3FevMY7E1NbFEkXnh1C2-tZ9Etfm5cI7dh1tFKbsigDwTjpkO3MSY/s400/Eddleman+Ddavid+edtd+2+P1010066.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5307992938626999074" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">David Eddleman</span><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Co.
