Alonzo Smith has the only zinc headstone we saw in Hillcrest Cemetery. We loved how the text was curved into an arch. Very beautiful and unique.
Unfortunately we can find no more information on Alonzo Smith using the usual genealogy websites.
The additional coordiantes are to the cemetery entrance off of TX 19 AKA Trade Days Blvd.
