SMART CEMETERY, on the banks of Hog Branch, a mile off La. Hwy. 63 and six

miles north of Livingston, is near the homeplace of Toliver B. Smart, a 

Virginia native born in 1807.  He moved from St. Francisville when he 

married Martha Lousanne Bradley and settled in the old Eighth Ward to

raise cattle and operate a mill.

     The earliest interment in the cemetery was the wife of Martha Louanne

Bradley's brother John L.  She was buried there in June, 1835.

     Interments in Smart Cemetery are obtained from records in the possession

of Mrs. Vincent Berthelot, daughter of William Lemuel Smart.  Some unmarked

graves of the Reid family are also located here.  -- Mrs. Willie Higginbotham

and Mrs. Maria C. Rosemann.
