    3. Also, I wonder what it's going to take to get her tombstone fixed. Is that you picking up her headstone? ----- Original Message ----- From: Ric Gordon To: CLOUD-L@rootsweb.com Sent: Wednesday, May 04, 2005 2:35 PM Subject: Re: [CLOUD] grave photos of family of William Augustine Cloud Tom, I've just now taken a look at Elizabeth Grace "Kennedy" Cloud's tombstone photo. It wasn't broken into, it was hit, probably by a car or truck. The body isn't missing as it was buried below ground. The tomb was just a style that was used, not only of the times, but also of the families connected to these. This is not the first time I've seen these. ----- Original Message ----- From: Tom Cloud To: CLOUD-L@rootsweb.com Sent: Wednesday, May 04, 2005 10:48 AM Subject: [CLOUD] grave photos of family of William Augustine Cloud Last Sunday I was out visiting my brother's grave to pull weeds and tend the flowers when my wife suggested we drive over to the section where the old graves are. I had no idea there were any other Clouds buried there, but I managed to park right next to Elizabeth Grace Kennedy Cloud's crypt and there found several Cloud graves. I would have taken pictures of the other family members' graves but I didn't know their surnames. Visit here to see the gravesites of the family of William Augustine Cloud (1810-1870) in the Bagdad Cemetery in Williamson county, Texas. (Yes, it is spelled "Bagdad".) http://mykindred.com/cloud/TX/headstones/Bagdad/ ... clicking on any of the pictures gives a larger one. There are at least two descendants of this family on this list -- Margaret Lindly and Bill Riddle (Cloud). Margaret is concerned that the body of Elizabeth has been stolen from the crypt http://mykindred.com/cloud/TX/headstones/Bagdad/images800/DSC00709.jpg for it is broken and there are only two stones inside. Does anyone know how to deal with something like this? I suppose calling the police, but I can't say with any certainty that her body was buried above ground -- the space inside the "crypt" is very narrow. It looks to me like the vault or crypt is sitting on top of the grave ?? Tom Cloud ==== CLOUD Mailing List ==== ..................................................................
