Hall Ivy Cemetery
Submitted by Carole Ann Hall-Zoebel and G. C. Hall, Jr.
November 27, 1998

This cemetery is out in the country, but still carries a Shreveport Address. 
It is located at the corner of Jerri lane and Barnes Road.

There are 27 markers in this cemetery. However, 8 are only field stone markers 
with no names or dates. 8 are markers that just say infant on them.  It is a 
private cemetery surrounded by a sturdy fence and is kept locked at all times. 
The information was personally gathered on November 27, 1998, by me, Carole Ann 
Hall-Zoebel and my Uncle, G. C. Hall, Jr. you may contact us at cahallzoe@bresnan.net.

The additional information about the family is provided my me, during my family 
research for the past several years. I am the great granddaughter of Alexander Franklin Hall 
and Willie Ann Shadowens/Chaudoin, buried in this cemetery. And G.C. Hall,Jr. is the grandson 
of Alexander Franklin Hall and Willie Ann Shadowens/Chaudoin. G.C. Hall, Jr. grew up visiting 
his grandfather, who's property is near this location, was 16 at the time of his death, 
and remembers him well. Jack Hallo another grandson of Alexander Hall still lives in the 
area and has the keys to the cemetery. It is kept locked , if you are a family member and 
will contact me I can arrange for you to get into the cemetery. 

Note: the name Shadowens, was the name given to the children at school by their teacher, 
it was actually Chaudoin and they were of French ancestry, but the way they pronounced 
the name, the teacher spelled it Shadowens.

There are 7 additional burials of adults marked only by fieldstone at the head and foot, 
and 1 smaller marked with fieldstones, which might be a child. 8 field stone markers in 
all. Another family member said that these might have at one time had wooden markers, 
this was originally called Ivy cemetery, and those could be some of the Ivy family. But 
I have been unable to substantiate any names for the Field stone markers. There are no 
markers by these stones. Wooden markers would have deteriorated by this time, due to the 
climate in the area, if there were Wooden Markers, it is hard to say. I found no evidence 
of wood, when I was examining the fieldstone markers.  Another story is that these were 
Gypsy burials, again just a story. I would love to know who else is buried there.
