I will be happy to send you the list. Please e-mail hchc@co.houston.tx.us & put list of cemeteries to be cleaned up on subject line. I will be happy to send you the list, pictures, & more info about the cemeteries we all hope that will be cleaned up. With all this being made aware to the public folks may take more interest in keeping cemeteries kept cleaned up. We are getting request to register some with Texas Historical Comm.
The Houston Co. “B” day party we learned more about the Camino Real and current research offered by the Stone Fort Museum. Jeffery Williams, Landscape
Geographer and GIS Systems Administrator in the Arthur Temple College of Forestry & Agriculture at Stephen F. Austin State University, outlined his ongoing research on the historic trace and the new mapping efforts related to identifying trail resources
in his presentation: El Camino Real de los Tejas National Historic Trail: Royal Road to the Caddo. The series of lectures are part of the Camino Real Heritage Education Project
funded by the National Park Service – Intermountain Region. To learn more about the public lectures, visit our website at www.sfasu.edu/stonefort or contact Museum staff at 936-468-2408.
Through contacts of our chair person Maxine Moore, 5 members from Houston Co. Historical Comm. travel 2 days for a class held by Dr. Perky Beisel of Stephen F. Austin University telling about the grant the City of Nacogdoches/SFASU. We spent several very hot hours in that city cemetery. Dr. Beisel visited in Houston Co. after the class to get us started on what she wants. A large group from Preserve America visited with HCHC. I feel they were impressed with all the info we can help them with historic community cemeteries along the El Camino Real corridor.
We encourage all counties to attend the 13th annual Angelina College Genealogy Conference in Lufkin next month.
Sat. June 13, 6 women & 1 male, members of the Democratic Club of Houston Co. cleaned & repainted 8 historical markers. I’ve had a call from a Republican women wanting to paint a make or 2. A owner of a hog farm is painting several, so you don’t have to have a group, just wants to give a marker a face lift.
In the near future a Scout group will do 25 individual markers in Glenwood Cemetery, Crockett. So getting this out has helped.
