Mary Gibson & Peter Coffee Gibson - Matagorda Cemetery - Matagorda, TX - Broken Column Headstones on Waymarking.com

Sadly, the beautiful broken column tombstone for Peter Coffee Gibson at Matagorda Cemetery is toppled. Whether the fall was caused by vandals or storms, we cannot tell.

The graves read as follows:

"PETER COFFEE GIBSON
Died
July 3, 1858
Aged 27 y's

We call him dead, but ah not know
his death's where in Thy will doth flow."

and next to him, his mother's false-mausoleum style tombstone reads

"[front]

MRS. MARY GIBSON
wife of
Henry Gibson
Fied
Aug 27, 1858
AE. 68 y's

[back]

Blessed are the dead'which doe in the Lord
From henceforth yea
saith the spirit that they
may rest from their labors
yes, and their works do fol
low them."
