Bill Nolan,

The following is from vIIpA-386 from my 1,022-page book.

"J.J. Diamond and fourteen (14) members of his family died in a yellow fever epidemic in 1868 in Houston, Texas. Many yellow fever victims of that area probably were buried in unmarked graves in the Greenwood Cemetery or the neighboring Old Washington Cemetery on Washington Road."

***********

This suggested cemetery was sent by Edward T. Cotham of Houston TX who wrote BATTLE ON THE BAY, THE CIVIL WAR STRUGGLE FOR GALVESTON and is past president of the Houston Civil War Roundtable.

"In 1866 J.J. Diamond and Wm. Winfield Diamond organized the newspaper that became the HOUSTON POST. An October 5, 1867, Vol. 2, No. 218 issue cites Diamond, Jones, & Co. in Kennedy’s building at the corner of Travis and Congress streets, Houston, Harris County, Texas as the publisher of THE HOUSTON JOURNAL and THE DAILY JOURNAL published weekly and daily, respectively."
