Teat Cemetery, Caddo, LA submitted by: Wanda Lentz Date: May 2003 ********************************************** Copyright. All rights reserved. http://usgwarchives.net/copyright.htm http://usgwarchives.net/la/lafiles.htm ********************************************** Teat Cemetery, an old cemetery out west of Mooringsport on the south shore of Caddo Lake. It was transcribed by Lisa Burford of Shreveport. Lisa checked the files at the library for information on her family and found an inventory of the cemetery. She then located the actual cemetery in 2003 and updated the survey. This old abandoned cemetery is in relatively good condition, considering the last burial there was over 100 years ago. All 12 markers that were inventoried in 1971 are still standing and the fence is mostly intact, though there is a lot of over growth. There does appear to be some unmarked graves within the fence. The graves are as follows: DAVIS, Infant son of C. F. & C. E. Davis, born Feb 3, 1896, died Feb 20, 1896 DAVIS, Infant son of C. F. & C. E. Davis, born Jan 29, 1900, died Feb 10, 1900 TEAT, T. A., born April 22, 1845, died Jan 5, 1900 TEAT, Olivia E., Mar 15, 1876 - June 24, 1882 TEAT, T. A., Jr., Mar 4, 1880 - Mar 8, 1880 TEAT, Lillie I., Mar 26, 1891 - July 21, 1893 TEAT, J. Edgar, Nov 24, 1873 - Dec 9, 1898 TEAT, Eula F., July 23, 1888 - Feb 7, 1897 (double marker) NEWBERRY, John, Nov 5, 1823 - July 11, 1885 (masonic emblem) NEWBERRY, Frances J., Aug 15, 1823 - Oct 29, 1901 NEWBERRY, Benjamin L., son of John & Frances Newberry Aug 1, 1857 - Jan 19, 1863 TEAT, Nancie C., wife of A.
