Question: What Texas metro is home to a downtown overpass with a crypt that once contained the remains of the city’s earliest settlers?

Answer: Houston. When the Franklin Street Bridge was constructed in the early 1900s, the remains of Timothy Donellan, his wife Emily, and their son Henry were relocated to Glenwood Cemetery. The crypt is highlighted during boat tours of the Buffalo Bayou.
