Tombstone Tuesday #1: Lula and John Bagby

Today, let's make a virtual cemetery visit.

Riverview Cemetery was initiated by the city of Richmond in 1887 and is immediately west of Hollywood Cemetery on the James River. Riverview was laid out in a curvilinear design, with six roundabouts amid winding avenues, all overlooking the picturesque falls of the river.

Name Day: Katherina - November 25

Katherina GOELLNER/GILLEN 

A name day is a tradition in many countries in Europe and America that consists of celebrating the day of the year associated with one's given name.

Katherina was born in Hesse-Darmstadt, Germany in September, 1828, according to information provided in US census records.  Unfortunately, at this time I am unable to locate any records that indicate if she was born in the town of Darmstadt or in another town in the Hesse-Darmstadt German state.  Also, I'm not able to locate a document which gives us Katherina's maiden name.
