Mr. Albert Latham Reed apparently visited this cemetery in 1968. See the St. James AME No. 2 Cemetery account for his notes. He also visited the Arnold Cemetery which is just north of I-12 on Airport Road. His mother, Mary C. Latham Reed, may be buried here if this is part of the "old Cook Place" that he refers to in his notes. (In a conversation with Mrs. Stella Remble at First Guaranty Bank, Hammond, on 5/11/2000, she said that the Cook Place is next to the New Star Church. She has relatives buried in this cemetery.)
