Mitchell Cemetery Listed Oct. 1996 Submitted by Carl Dilbeck ************************************************ Copyright. All rights reserved. http://usgwarchives.net/copyright.htm http://usgwarchives.net/la/lafiles.htm ************************************************ This is a list of monuments and markers that I have found at Mitchell Cemetery. They are listed in rows starting with 1 in the NE corner of the cemetery. Monuments are listed in each row from north to south. Missing or unreadable dates are listed as "unk" for month and day, and "9999" for the year. Currently there are 195 markers listed, with the earliest burial found in 1888. Unless there was some indication on the tombstone that people were married, I've tried to use the convention of "b/w" to indicate "buried with" for multiple burials with a single tombstone. I've also tried to note son and daughter relationships and military notations in the comments column. Row Num First Name Last Name Born Died Comments 1 1 Gertha L.
