Glenwood Cemetery was developed in 1871 on two tracts of land on the north side of Buffalo Bayou,…read moreand west of Downtown Houston. Glenwood hosted its first burial on June 19, 1872. By 1874, Glenwood was a recreational destination. A mule-drawn street railway operated on Washington Road, conveying people to Glenwood for weekend and holiday visits. Glenwood differs from most urban cemeteries of that time that had a grid pattern. Glenwood has meandering roads and trails and is beautifully landscaped. This historic cemetery is the final resting place of a number of individuals who were citizens of the short-lived Republic of Texas as well as famous citizens of Houston, Harris County and the state of Texas. One of the most famous buried here is Howard Hughes. The cemetery is a fun place to walk or bike ride, it's very shady so quite nice, even in summer. I was there as the new year came and enjoyed seeing many beautiful monuments.

This section of River Oaks is calm. It's hidden away from the hustle and bustle of Shepherd and…read moreAllen Parkway just a few blocks away. I think this is mostly because people don't know this area well enough to bypass the traffic via side streets that don't dead end. This is fine by me, the least amount of hustle and immediate danger surrounding my car makes for a happier driver. The lack of traffic adds a tinge of eliteness. I mention this because a historical cemetery is hidden amongst this quietude. It's the hushed, whispered voices in an already quiet space. It's almost too quiet in a foreboding, frightening sort of way. I don't look over in that direction when I happen to drive past at night. I not entirely certain what I'd see. Lurking and possibly marauding vagrants camping or hovering ghosts angry that their cemetery is in such disarrayed neglect. Recently, I finally just parked my car and visited this cemetery. There's no designated parking, so I left my car in the lot across the street and dodged the speeding Range Rover. Unfortunately, the cemetery was flooded due to that horrid little cold front that rolled through a few days ago, so no reading of grave stones and general exploring. There are several benches at the front of the cemetery. It looks like when the push for restoring this space back in the early 2000s, only a few cosmetic improvements were made. The cemetery itself seems to continue to crumble into itself. This is a shame to Houston's history and the people interred here. It is one of Houston's three oldest African-American cemeteries. Founded in 1896, many of prominent figures from 4th Ward, ie Freedman's Town, are interred here. Freedman's Town was Houston's "Harlem," with the main thoroughfare being Dallas. If this is all "news to you," I'm attaching an article on the area by someone from Freedman's Town Association (FTA): http://www.isocracytx.net/hp-org/FTAbrief.html I'm off on a journey to discover more "right there in front of my face" Houston history. Cheers!

Rose Ann Leonetti, Funeral Counselor/Coordinator, is to be commended!! Rose Ann was a pillar of…read morestrength for me and my family when my husband died 5 years ago. Her genuine compassion and her knowledge of the profession gave me the comfort and peace I needed to handle the devastating loss of my loved one. My husband's Homegoing Service at Earthman Bellaire (formerly Levy Dignity) was absolutely beautiful. I thank God for Rose Ann. I even sought her advice again when I began exploring PreNeed plans for myself early during the Covid19 pandemic. I was so sad to hear that she is not with Earthman Bellaire at this time. Rose Ann Leonetti is a rare gem and anyone who is fortunate enough to get Rose Ann as their Funeral Counselor will get a true angel from God to guide them through their grief journey. May God bless Rose Ann. - Mtisha Subira-Dupaty

Not too long ago, there was a tour of old Houston cemeteries. Founder's, Beth Isreal, College…read moreMemorial Park, and Olivewood. It truly was a wonderful tour of Houston's past; I learned quite a bit. I like the space of Olivewood the best. It's overgrown, then cleared, so it has that emerging from nature feeling. Oh, and there are quite a few plants that fell out of fashion years ago that are running wild, so it's really nice to rediscover flora in this slightly magical cemetery. Businesses and neighborhoods keep threatening its perimeters (metaphorically and quite literally), but there is a sense of calm within. If you're unfamiliar with the area, you'll have a time getting there. It's not difficult, it's just that the horrid shipping company and the encroaching neighborhoods are all vying for right of ways. The meandering is really part of the journey. It lends a sense of annoyance and harassment and also ultimate success when you reach the center of this labyrinth. It helps you realize what the volunteers who take care of this lovely cemetery face on a daily basis. Apparently the owner of the business directly south of them is particularly vicious. I'm not certain if all of these things that I mentioned (the antique foliage, old tombstones and statuary, neighbor issues, and general encroaching on people who have been laid to rest's space) were what caused my uneasiness, but I kept looking over my shoulder. It could have also been flashbacks to Doctor Who's Weeping Angel episodes. Regardless, it is pleasant and just a little bit unsettling. Oh, and if you do see any angel statuary moving towards you, stare at them, don't blink, and get out of there stat.
