Harbour Cemetery
Goodwill, Washington County, Texas, USA
From the website, http://earlytexasfamilies.com/cemeteries/harbour/harbour.html, comes this description from someone who was born on the property in 1945. We do not know the date of the quote.
"Unfortunately, the only two graves that I can positively remember are Joseph and his wife. There were six or sevens headstones standing when I was a youngster. The cemetery is on one and one-half acres and runs east to west along the crest of the hill. The Harbours were buried in the first row on the Westerly end. The white portion of the graveyard was along the North side of the ridge and the black portion along the South side. There are many unmarked graves in the graveyard.
During the winter, when the grass is dead, one can stand on the Easterly side of the graveyard and look toward the west. You can see many depressions in the ground. There are many depressions in the black portion also. However, there was only one marker and it was made of wood. My father said that it was a black woman that was buried there when she was young."
