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 Newberry graves are enclosed in a smaller fenced area within the larger cemetery where the Teat and Davis graves are.
