BOWDEN CEMETERY

 

This cemetery is located off Hwy No.562 between Fort Necessity, LA 

and Extension, LA.  After passing the home of Aubrey Kincaid, there

will be a cabin on the right.  You will turn off the highway at this 

cabin and go on a turnrow around the cabin and past a hay field;  

2 cotton fields and left past another hay field.  The cemetery has 

long been abandoned and there is nothing that remains.  It has grown 

up in a thicket.  It is on the Aubrey Kincaid property just 200 to 300 

yard from the Charlie Grayson property.  There are no markers showing 

now and the two iron fences have fallen down.

 

The early Bowdens are buried in this cemetery with the exception of Lemuel Henry 

Bowden, b. Sept 5, 1821 in Catahoula Parish and died Sept 5, 1891 and 

buried in Tangipahoa Parish.
