Description: This dataset includes cemeteries surveyed by the Texas Historical Commission (THC) plus the ones recorder by USGS.Cemeteries are among the most valuable of historic resources. They are reminders of various settlement patterns, such as villages, rural communities, urban centers and ghost towns. Cemeteries can reveal information about historic events, religion, lifestyles and genealogy. The Texas Historical Commission (THC) provides guidelines to aid in the preservation of these important historic resouces. Cemeteries are like open history books whose pages are tablets of stone. Historians consult cemetery records to confirm past events. Sometimes there is no other recorded information about an area except what can be found in cemeteries. Each one provides clues about the people who settled an area. Cemeteries tell us about the ethnic background of people, their occupations, how long they lived and, sometimes, what caused their deaths. They provide us with insights into cultural practices and beliefs. Some monuments are simple ? a slab of wood or a carved piece of concrete with a name and dates scratched in. Others are elaborate sculptures. Cemeteries are a nonrenewable resource. Their survival is constantly threatened by expanding urban areas, vandalism, removal of headstones, theft of objects such as benches, gates and statuary, neglect and lack of fences to keep cattle from toppling headstones. If not cared for, these reminders of early settlements could be lost forever.
