MACK CEMETERIES 1 AND 2 are located north of Livingston.  John Christopher

Mack, who came from Connecticut to Georgia and then to Louisiana, and his

wife Mary Jane Russell were buried in 1869 and 1868, respectively, in the

first Mack Cemetery, now located off La. Hwy. 63.  The Mack family held a

reunion in 1974 and erected a marker attesting to the fact that John 

Christopher Mack came to Louisiana with Andrew Jackson.

     The second cemetery by this name is on the Doyle North Road, and was

established by John Bishop Mack, son of John Christopher Mack.  John Bishop

and his wife Sarah Driscoll mack were the first to buried there, both 

having passed away in 1899. (1) -- Mrs. Willie Higginbotham & Maria C. Rosemann
