Hillebrandt Cemetery - Walker, Ernest Clayton, Sr.
I visited this cemetery on 3/23/11 - and noticed there had been recent burial. Lots of flowers still around the site; and from their appearance looked to have been several days past. I wondered whose burial it had been. Then while in the process of gathering some detail to post this cemetery, I saw the obit and notice of Clayton Walker Sr, posted on findagrave, and that he had died on Mar 8. I don't know the family, but may he rest in peace, and my sincerest condolences to the family for their loss.

The line of family of this cemetery, Christian Espar Z. Hillebrandt (1830-1906) are connected to my direct family by marriage and neighbors.
Christian's father, Christian Sr. was born 1792 in Denmark. And in 1850 was living in Sabine Pass, Texas. Living in his household was Samuel Lee (1818), who also was from Denmark. It raises the question if Lee and Hillebrandt might have been related. Samuel Lee would marry Eliza Jane Sparks 10 years later.
Christian Jr's sister Caroline Hillebrandt married William Brewer. In 1850 Brewer lived next door to the Sparks brothers, Solomon and John. His son Elisha married Mary Ellen Courts. Mary Ellen was Helmer's sister, and Helmer was married to John Sparks' daughter Julia.
After Elisha Brewer died she married Thomas F. Smith. This is the namesake of the TF Smith Homestead graves.
These and other photos from the Hillebrandt Bayou area can be viewed in my Picasa album.
(pictures of headstones were garnered from findagrave; however the overall cemetery and surrounding grounds were taken by yours truly. The gate into the cemetery grounds was locked.)
