Mt. Triumph Baptist Church Cemetery, Rapides, Louisiana Submitted by: Jane Parker McManus ********************************************** Copyright. All rights reserved. http://usgwarchives.net/copyright.htm http://usgwarchives.net/la/lafiles.htm ********************************************** MT. TRIUMPH BAPTIST CHURCH CEMETERY updated Nov. 2002 Take Cottingham Expressway North from Pineville, and exit on LA Hwy. 28 East. About .3 miles on left is a small African-American cemetery. The area is located between a small waterway to the right of the Pineville Park Baptist Church and a wooded area. To the right of the cemetery is a driveway. Unless otherwise noted, the burials have vaults. The earliest marked graves date back to the 1940's, however, there is no way to determine how old the cemetery really is, there being so many depressions and unmarked graves. This small cemetery is affiliated with the Mt. Triumph Baptist Church on Lee Street in Alexandria. The area is quite large; graves on the left of driveway are fairly well tended, but grounds on the right side are not cleared. There may be more graves in the brush, hidden from view. Tombstone inscriptions were copied as approached from the rear by Mary Parker Partain, 17 September 1996.
