West, Texas

Sectarian Portals ~ Roman Catholic:  The railroad funneled Czech immigrants to West, Texas, in the 1880s. Last month, 14 people lost their lives in an explosion at the fertilizer plant in West. The remains of some passed through this portal to be interred in the town's Roman Catholic cemetery. The gates of St. Mary's were the last before the Pearly Gates. St. Mary's Cemetery. [2012]
