Mt. Freedom Cemetery Listed Oct. 1999 Submitted by Carl Dilbeck ************************************************ Copyright. All rights reserved. http://usgwarchives.net/copyright.htm http://usgwarchives.net/la/lafiles.htm ************************************************ Mt. Freedom Cemetery is located about 3.5 miles north of Many on Hwy 1217, (Marthaville Road). Monuments are listed in rows starting with 1 in the SE corner of the cemetery. Monuments are numbered from south to north. There was a listing of this cemetery in 1959 by members of the D. A. R. At that time there were 10 monuments listed. There are currently 54 monuments here, with the earliest burial found in 1947. Checking my list against the older list, I've found that there are several people known to be buried here whose markers have been lost or are no longer readable. These are indicated by rows and numbers of "999". Missing or unreadable dates are listed as "unk" for month and day, and "9999" for the year. 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 relationships, children, and military notations in the comments column.
