Can you tell us about this last picture of flat tombstones with a chain around them? thank you very much Dottie Porter Himes
Of course! Many of the older stones were broken or off their base. Instead of throwing these pieces away, they were put into this area. How wonderful they were saved!
Thanks for taking time to answer my question about the flat stones at Holy Name of Mary cemetery. Just wondering, are their names on these flat stones? I am also glad that they chose to keep these stones and put them together. They belong to someones family. My father’s Porter family attended Holy Name of Mary church in Calvary, KY too but they were buried at St. Augustine cemetery in Lebanon, KY. Thanks again. Dottie Porter Himes
http://kentuckykindred.wordpress.com/2013/06/18/old-holy-name-of-mary-cemetery/ This is an earlier post about Holy Name of Mary and gives a better picture. You can read names and some dates on these pieces and parts of stones!
Phyllis thanks once again for sending the older post on Old Holy Name of Mary Cemetery. I can tell how much both you and your husband enjoy the search of old cemeteries, and it makes it so great for those of us who live too far away. When my parents made many trips back to KY, I was about ten and of course, was not interested. Now thru your trips and your eyes and your great pictures, I can enjoy the tombstones of many of my parents relatives. I can never thank you enough. Dottie Porter Himes, Corpus Christi, TX
I am descended From Col. Abraham Bowman, 8th Va. Regiment, Revolutionary war , and an early settler of Kentucky. His Great grandson, George Washington Bowman, who was my Great Grandfather, was also in General Morgans 2nd Kentucky Cavalry, and was one of Morgans Raiders. He had 3 brothers who served with him in Morgans command, and I have a tintype photo of the era, of my G.Grandfather with his 3 brothers who served with him. The William Bowman listed in this post as being in Holy Mary Cemetery must be an uncle of theirs, and brother to their father, Royal Marshall Bowman. Both Royal Marshall Bowman and his son George Washington Bowman were residents of Lebanon, Ky. This makes me an Nth cousin to any Bowman descendants, who may find their kin here. My fathers mother was Mary Elizabeth Bowman, late of Louisville, Ky.
