In a city that is well known for treating history like it’s a rotting tree stump in need of dynamiting to build as sweet-ass dirt bike ramp, I have a particular fondness for graves. Specifically, the ones that somehow endure in strange places when all sense says they should have been destroyed and/or forgotten.
In 2018, that’s how I found the lost lonely chapel of Nancy Adleman, but today’s cemetery find is far from the beaten path. In fact, it’s literally butted up against one of the biggest freeways in Houston, I found it when I was on an errand to secure a PlayStation 5 from the trunk of a dude’s car in a transaction that was probably legal. When I exited I-45 on the way to Spring at Holzwarth, I noticed a tiny parking spot on the feeder and a wooden sign overlooking a small set of tombstones.
