Oakwood Cemetery

 

Graveyard Photo Session

This photo was taken four weeks ago today at the Laurel Hill Cemetery on the banks of the Saco River in York County, Maine . . . this beautiful Victorian garden cemetery is the final resting place of my maternal grandma and several of her family members . . . and it apparently a choice spot for photography sessions . . . including wedding parties! . . . I would assume the bride was planning on plenty of brilliant autumn color for her wedding photos . . . but alas, that was not to be . . . the color did not arrive in New England as scheduled during this Autumn of 2011 . . . nevertheless, we especially appreciated seeing green while away from this drought-blemished State of Texas . . .

Mount Homer Cemetery

This is a photo of a section of page 70 out of my Texas Atlas & Gazetteer . . . used the Focal B&W feature in Picasa to highlight the area where the Mount Homer Cemetery is hidden (literally!) . . . we spent the morning on Monday hunting down and traipsing into and photographing this little country cemetery . . .

Hiram Daugherty

This is the grave of Hiram Daugherty (1809-1870) . . . who was first the step-father . . . and then the brother-in-law . . . of Charles Goodnight (1836-1929) [findagrave] . . . on the 1850 census (page 24b), Charles and his Mother and siblings were enumerated in Milam County, Texas . . .
