I researched a few different oral history records from Texas. It was interesting to read some of the biographical notes. A few that I researched where Sam Houston, Houston Ship Channel, and Galveston Island (1915 Hurricane).
After going to Find A Grave the cemetery that I chose was Ferncliff Cemetery and Mausoleum. It is the cemetery where Judy Garland is buried. The oldest burial that I found was 1931. The person was Lya DE Putti b. Jan. 10, 1896 Hungary, d. Nov. 27, 1931 New York. She was a actress of international silent films. Died of pneumonia following surgery to remove a chicken bone from her throat. Some of her credits in both Germany and America (1922) "Burning Soil", "Phantom", and "Othello". The arrival of sound ended her holly wood career. The photo to the right is of Lya De Putti.
