It was a brisk morning on Saturday, but luckily the sun was shining for the annual commemoration ceremony at Galveston’s Trinity Episcopal Cemtery for those lost in the Battle of Galveston. The event was hosted by the Edward Lea Camp of the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War. Thank you to everyone who came from near and far to attend.
The ceremony takes place each January and is free for the public to attend. You can find out more about Edward Lea, the naval officer whose marker the event centers around HERE.
The following are some photos from yesterday’s ceremony.
Thanks for sharing these photos. I was not aware of the Battle of Galveston. Is this the cemetery on Broadway?
Yes, it’s Trinity Episcopal Cemetery in the Broadway Cemetery District (which is made up of seven cemeteries. It’s where I give tours.
