On a recent trip to Rockport, Aransas Co., TX, I visited the Rockport Cemetary and photographed some of the older headstones.

Among those headstones was a headstone with the following information:

In Memory of
JAMES R. CLEARMAN
BORN
August 21, 1852
Born into spirit life
January 18, 1881
Sheltered and safe from sorrow

I was hoping to share a copy of this photo with someone who might be connected to or have an interest in this JAMES R. CLEARMAN.

I have no connection to and no interest in this person or family, I just thought the headstone looked interesting.

Although there is a Rockport, Aransas County, Texas Cemetery website created by Patricia Barber Wendel and Jeanette Barber, the website does NOT yet have a photo of headstone of JAMES R. CLEARMAN.
http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~rockporttxcemetery/...

I would prefer that the "James R. Clearman" photo file be used and shared only for non-commercial personal and family research purposes.

If you would like for me to e-mail a copy of the "James R. Clearman headstone.jpg" file to you, please contact me and I will send a copy to you.

Please forward the photo of the gravestone. We have a Clearman ancestor who moved to Llano County, Texas in the 1880s from Mississippi. Thank you for taking the time and effort to get the photo on Ancestry. Margrit (Michael's sister)

Margrit,

Thank you for writing.

To get a copy of the photofile, go to http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=68...

THEN click on the photo to enlarge it. Once the photo has enlarged, right click on the photo to open a menu. Select "save file as" or whatever. Name it whatever you want, just make sure it ends in "Jpg" (I would use "ClearmanJamesR.jpg"). That will get you a copy.

You will probably get a better photo if you use the copy at:
http://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.clearman/23.1/mb.ashx

Just click on the photo to enlarge the copy then follow the same instructions I just sent to you.

The regular size copy is on the following page, but the link is so long, it might not work correctly:

Carrie T. (CLEARMAN) NICHOLSON is also buried there. SEE:
http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=68...

Do the same thing to get a copy of the photo of her burial marker.

I tried to find out how those two were related but I was unsuccessful.

I would email the photofiles to you, but they are not on this computer and it will be a while before I can get to the computer where the files are stored.
