I have now found many cousins buried in various of them and it has been an immense aid in my genealogy work. In case it helps any, the partially damaged stone in the Blount Cemetery for "Ike Watts" probably is for the following person: Social Security Death Index: U.S., 1937-1996 Watts, Ike Birth date : Nov 23, 1911 SS# issued in : Louisiana Death date : Sep 1972 SS# : 436-14-8783 He very likely is a cousin of mine--Margaret Albin Watts buried nearby is. Hard to be sure whether he is a child or grandchild of hers. None of the burials can confidently be assumed to be her children. So he probably is a grandchild. Thanks again and best wishes, Barbara :)***
