This is a historic black cemetery that is privately owned by a direct descendant of the Rev. Davis I met as a child. I grew up near this cemetery in Houston and had the opportunity to revisit it last year. Pictures from that visit will be in a later post. The earliest photos I can find on-line of this cemetery are from the historian George E. Wolf Jr.

Mr Wolf documented as many small cemeteries as he could in the Harris County/Houston Texas area. His main post can be found here. http://www.freewebs.com/boneyardwolf/

The specific post on the Redeemer (Davis) Cemetery is here. http://redeemercem.webs.com/

I have taken the liberty of lifting his photos which predate the current 10 ft chain link fence that surrounds this cemetery. I also did a little photo editing on his pics. I need the practice.

This place and area of Houston were my home for 10 of my early years. More next time.
