Baham Dec 24, 1918 - Mar 1, 1974 w/o Phillip Baham Near the gate of this cemetery is a sign with four telephone numbers for information. One of the numbers is no longer valid (796-3129). The first one, 796-3731, is that of Mr. Austin Rodriguez. The other two numbers are 796-9417 and 796-3215. (796 is Folsom, St. Tammany, LA exchange.) I talked with Mr. Rodriguez on the evening of July 5, 2000, to see if there was a master list of those buried here, and when the cemetery was founded. He said there was no master list and he didn't know when the cemetery was founded, but probably by the Bahams. (Virginia Baham was buried here April 3, 1900, making the cemetery over 100 years old.) -BEC (4/3/01: In the LA Land Records, 1790-1907, there is a Nober Baham that had 121.76 acres in the SWNW Sec 28, T4S, R9E, dated Jul 1, 1859. This is approximately the same area as this cemetery.) ************************************************ File at: http://files.usgwarchives.net/la/tangipahoa/cemeteries/strock.txt
