The section that most of my readings were taken was in the Trinity Episcopal Cemetery section. Somewhere I made note of "Episcopal 18, Cemetery 76" from a small marker along the fencing. But, there is no sign. I confused it as being the Old City Cemetery because the only sign that I saw to name the cemetery was "Old City Cemetery" across the main drive from the section that I was in. There are only 2 graves that I did on the Old City side and I will create a new page for those once I get back out to get more readings. There are more sections or cemeteries down the main drive that I never got to see.
This a partial reading submitted by Shelley Edwards, I apologize for any errors in advance. I tried to include all information on the headstones that I could read. Send corrections or questions to shelleymedwards@gmail.com

Texas Historical Commission: David Ayers (August 10, 1793 - October 25, 1881) A Veteran of the War of 1812, David Ayers brought his family to Texas in 1833. On behalf of the American Bible Society, they distributed bibles to new settlers. Settling first in San Patricio, Ayers moved to Washington County where he became a friend to many leaders of the Texas Revolution. When William B. Travis went to the Alamo, he left his son, Charles, in Ayers' care. During the runaway scrape, Ayers led many families to safety. In 1847, he moved his family to Galveston, where he became a successful business, civic, and religious leader.
