BLACK BAYOU CEMETERY Date: July 2006 Transcribed and typed by: Peggy Hale (Peggyhale@aol.com) ************************************************************* Submitted to the LAGenWeb Archives *********************************************************** Copyright. All rights reserved. http://usgwarchives.net/copyright.htm http://usgwarchives.net/la/lafiles.htm ********************************************** ************************************************************** BLACK BAYOU CEMETERY is located just out of Vivian on Hwy. 170. Come into Vivian, LA on Hwy. 1 going north from Shreveport. Once you enter Vivian take a right at the first light onto Camp Rd./170. Go to the end of Camp Rd. and take another right onto Hwy. 170. Proceed about 2 miles and the cemetery is on your left. This cemetery is full of large iron ore rocks. Many of them were used for headstones but it is sometimes hard to tell what is supposed to be a headstone and what isn't. Some of the graves were in amongst brush and trees that I had to climb through to find. The names that have parentheses ( ) are maiden names and if they have quotation " " marks they are nicknames. If I have missed anyone or made any errors in transcribing please let me know at the above e-mail address and I will correct them. I transcribed these headstones being careful to give your loved ones the utmost respect. Last Middle First Date Notes Allen H.
