Mt. Olivet Cemetery #2


Bless his soul, Turtle took great pride in being referred to as Bobby Gibbs illegitimate son.

I was rooting around in find-a-grave, but they don't have a listing for a Mt. Olivet -- maybe I had the wrong city ?? I was just looking to see if they had any pics of showman's rest there. What is the official mane of this place ???

To further clearify matters, over the wrought iron gate it states "Mt. Olivet Cemetery".

I can testify Mt. Olivet is not an easy place to find. I recall you turn off the main drag to a narrow street and drive until you're sure you are lost, then it will be on your left. It was worth the effort to see the markers and pay your respects.

I found a site that not only lists everyone in Mt. Olivet, but has photos of their headstones -- thanks guys

Everyone knows Turtle was a sweet and gentle man who loved his elephants and circus like only we can understand. He and I were in correspondence until the end. How ironic it is that the last time I saw him in person was when we attended the memorial service for Dr. Ralph Hartman, in San Antonio.
