The Osgood Cemetery was right behind our house growing up in Baytown, Texas. I thought someone might not know where it was at, so I took a trip by there to take pictures. As a young girl (late 50's & early 60's), I remember more graves there than what I found on my trip. I recall baby graves with temp markers when we would go looking through the cemetery. We children would remark to each other about so many baby graves and how sad it was. There were no temporary markers there with baby names when I recently made my trip there to take pictures. I was told by an Osgood family member, that still resides in Baytown, that the land (total of an acre) was donated to his grandfather by the Confederate Army because of his service in the army. Back then there were not a lot of cemeteries around and Mr. Osgood gave 1/2 acre to the black families in the area so they would have somewhere to bury their dead. . Mom Hardin |
