San Jacinto Monument Funded and Dedicated in 1882
Oscar Farish of Galveston traced a lone grave at San Jacinto battle site where Benjamin Rice Bingham’s family marker faded. August Smith urged a monument and funded the effort through public contributions. The San Jacinto monument was dedicated on April 21, 1882, in the cemetery near Park Road 1836 and Buffalo Bayou by the battleship. Chuck Chandler, a Baytown native and former Navy pilot, retires from Exxon and serves on the Harris County Historical Commission. Contact him at cechandler73 gmail.com.
