Tombstone Tuesday – Richard Ruel Tarrant (1859-1911)

March 23rd, 2010 Leave a comment Go to comments

My family and I took a recent road trip to Tyler, Texas. On the way, I took pictures of Pleasant Hill Cemetery, located southwest of Bullard, Texas on FM 2137.

Richard Ruel Tarrant, my 3rd great grand uncle, was born 8/13/1859 in Cherokee County, Texas.  Richard was 51 years-old at the time of his death. His gravesite, along with those of his wife, Melissa Gabrielle Tarrant (Cole), and several members of her family are located at Pleasant Hill Cemetery.

    Very nice. Did you take the road trip specifically to search for these gravesites or were you aware that you would find them? It’s always wonderful to find pieces to the family history puzzle!

    Lori – I had previously missed the cemetery on a road trip last year. I knew they were buried in the cemetery and decided to take a short detour on our trip to Tyler last weekend. Thanks for visiting my blog! Take care.
