PAIGE CEMETERY - RAPIDES PARISH

A small family graveyard existed at one time in the vicinity of the
Cloverdale Cemetery in Rapides Parish.  According to the local residents,
the Paige family moved away and abandoned the little cemetery long ago.
The land was later sold, and a new house built.  As there were no markers
visible, the area became part of the front yard for the new owners, and the
cemetery was lost forever.  Although one resident of the area believes that
before the land was sold to the present owner, some of the old tombstones
were moved to another location, most of them agree that the burials are
still hidden under the front yard and were never moved.  This information
is included for the benefit of anyone who may be searching for information
on the Paige family.
