Thought I would pass this on to everyone.... this was the reply I got when
I let them know about my Civil War graves photo collection. Maybe we could
all gather our photos and put them all together for the THC.

sites
Hello Ms. Reveley,
A very kind offer, thank you.
We are working on ideas on how to commemorate the upcoming sesquicentennial
of the Civil War. One of the things that the Centennial Commission did 50
years ago was mark Civil War veteran graves. I am not sure how we can
incorporate your pictures at the moment, since planning is still in the very
early stages, but as we develop ideas I look forward to contacting you again
and perhaps we can work together.
Sincerely,
William McWhorter
Military Historian
Texas Historical Commission
TX-CEMETERIES] 1936 Centennial grave markers
Just finished my index. If you want details on the individual, go to
http://atlas.thc.state.tx.us/shell-kword.htm">http://atlas.thc.state.tx.us/shell-kword.htm and select the county, then
the surname as keyword. It should give you the description and a better
location. Many of the ones in the Austin State Cemetery were re-interred at
the time of the Centennial.
If anyone has photos of these centennial markers I would appreciate a copy.
Sarah
