Philadelphia Baptist Cemetery, Rapides, Louisiana Submitted by: Jane Parker McManus ********************************************** Copyright. All rights reserved. http://usgwarchives.net/copyright.htm http://usgwarchives.net/la/lafiles.htm ********************************************** PHILADELPHIA BAPTIST CEMETERY - Rapides Parish updated Nov. 2002 Directions: Several miles from Pineville on LA Hwy. 28 East, turn right on Parish Road 1205 in Libuse Community. The Philaldelphia Baptist Cemetery is 4.0 miles after the turn adjacent to the Libuse Czech Cemetery and across the road from the Philadelphia Baptist Church. The area is fenced and well maintained. A brief history was provided by Linda Paul, Church Secretary (1993). Some additional genealogical information not actually on the stone is shown in brackets and was provided by Larry Gates who is a descendant of these families. In 1978, Larry copied the inscriptions in this cemetery, and several burials listed on his sheets were not found today (1993). Those burials are listed in brackets in the general area where he found them. In some cases, there were obvious depressions indicating the graves would be lost without his record. We are indebted to Larry Gates and Linda Paul for their assistance. The oldest marked burial in the cemetery appears to be the infant daughter of Carrol Rush & Martha Beck who died 10 Jun 1880. The infant is buried in a tiny above ground vault, and the lettering is so old it was extremely difficult to decipher, even though we used chalk. The cemetery extended behind and on both sides of the old section. In this older area, there are several large open spaces with obvious depressions indicating there could be many lost or unmarked graves. Tombstone inscriptions were recorded from the fence next to Libuse Cemetery on 18 January 1993 by Mary Parker Partain & Jane P. McManus, and submitted by Jane McManus, July 2000. History: Philadelphia Baptist Church was organized in 1872 and held its first meetings in a Grange Hall Building. The Nation Family Cemetery (a few miles down Philadelphia Road) now marks the location of the church's first meeting place. The congregation met here for several years before they constructed a building at the site of the present church. A tornado destroyed the building in 1891 when it was only two years old. At that time, the church members worked together to build a new home for the congregation. The present building was constructed during 1986-87. Directly in front of the beautiful sanctuary are several large cedar trees which mark the location of the original cemetery.
