HISTORY OF STICKER FAMILY CEMETERY

The cemetery was established in 1957 at the death of George Thurman Sticker.  It is located 
at the end of Sticker Cemetery road off Hwy. 22 east of Ponchatoula, Louisiana, in the Bedico 
Community.

Prior to that time, the family members were buried in the Edwards Family Cemetery on 
Edwards Farm Road, as Henry Sticker (grandfather of George T. Sticker) was a foster child in 
the Edwards family.  This is a very small cemetery and was closed to further burials.

The property for the cemetery was donated by Milton Jerrome Sticker (brother of George 
Thurman Sticker) to the Sticker Family Cemetery Association, which was formed for this 
purpose during the year of 1967.  By this time two more of Milton's brothers and a nephew had 
been buried in the cemetery.

In 1975 the Association registered the cemetery with the State Cemetery Board which, I 
believe, was when the law began the requirement that all family cemeteries be registered 
with their office.

In 1993 another donation of property was made to the cemetery association by Nathan T. 
Sticker and Merdis R. Mickenheim for the enlargement of the cemetery.

As of September 2000, there are 22 people buried in this cemetery.
