JLWM8609 Posted March 14, 2009 Posted March 14, 2009 How interesting that this information about the Evergreen Negro Cemetery should come up now. I just found out a few days ago that my great great grandfather was buried at Evergreen in 1919. I talked about Evergreen with my great uncle on the phone earlier today (he was the deceased's grandson) and apparently, no gravestone exists for my great great grandfather. Quote
Cemeterywolf Posted July 17, 2010 Posted July 17, 2010 I went out to the Kuhlmann Family Cemetery today on Roseneath. Went back in the woods were the cemetery would be. Near the back of the woods, next to a small gully is the 30' by 30" wall of hand made bricks. This is were the graves of this family would be. There are no markers in this area. BUT down a small slope in the gully is two marble stones that would be from the cemetery. The large one is to heavy to turn over to see if it has a name on it . The other small one is blank. These may be the bases to the gravestones that once were there. I don't think the graves have been moved. I could be wrong. Here is some pics from it. 2 Quote

You and I both know they didn't move the graves. Thanks for going over there and taking pictures. I was over in the area about a month ago but I wasn't taking a hike it the woods. They have some nice old houses there! Quote
Cemeterywolf Posted July 19, 2010 Posted July 19, 2010 Here is a map with more detail of the Kuhlmann Cemetery. Not to scale....... 1 Quote
Cemeterywolf Posted August 8, 2010 Posted August 8, 2010 (edited) I stand corrected. The graves were moved, not sure if all were moved? I found the family plot at Forest Park Lawndale Cemetery. Kuhlmann Family plot, section C. Still trying to figure out who is where? Edited August 8, 2010 by Cemeterywolf 1 Quote
sevfiv Posted August 8, 2010 Posted August 8, 2010 I visited the Kulhlmann cemetery several months ago - neat place. I was wondering about the marble stones that were apart from the brick grave plot..I gathered some information, maps, and so on at the time - if anything is new or different from what has been posted I'll add to it (if I can locate it!).

TKAY2222 Posted March 16, 2023 Posted March 16, 2023 I have accidentally acquired a Texas Abstract Title binder at an estate sale. It was located in a dresser drawer that I purchased. It is dated 1945 and includes the history of sales, deeds, marriages of 2 acres of land in the Henry Tierwester 1/12th League in Harris County, Texas. The Ownership prior to the Kuhlmans is included, as well as the documentation of land ownership afterwards up until the Drew’s family purchased this land. I looked through the book and didn’t find any notation of the cemetery on the land. I’ll reread it again when I have more time. Yes, most families back in the day buried their family on their land and had small cemeteries. I was looking up information about this abstract of land and came across this page. I haven’t signed up and I’m writing in as a guest for now. Attached are a few photos of the binder. any questions email me at kaykayrobinson4@gmail.com 1 Quote
