Sibley Cemetery Listed Apr. 2000 Submitted by Carl Dilbeck ************************************************ Copyright. All rights reserved. http://usgwarchives.net/copyright.htm http://usgwarchives.net/la/lafiles.htm ************************************************ Sibley Cemetery is located east of Florien. Take Plainview Rd. at Hwy 171 in Florien, and go about 5 miles to Sibley Cemetery Rd. The cemetery is just past the cattle guard and an old house. Monuments are listed in rows starting with 1 in the NE corner. Monuments are listed north to south. There was a listing of this cemetery done in 1957 by members of the D.A.R. At that time 20 monuments were listed. Currently there are 51 monuments listed, with the earliest burial found in 1848. Checking my list against the older list, I found there were monuments that were listed then, that I can no longer find or identify. These are listed here with row-num of "999". 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.
