LEST WE FORGET HENNEN GRAVESITE Restoration March 12, 1979 by John A. Morris New York New York Anna Carter Boatner Nance Cuadalaiara Mexico Mrs. Hodding Carter Greenville Mississippi Edmund Ogden Spiller Baton Rouge, Louisiana Tia Wimberly Walker Louisiana Francis Carter Nance MD New Orleans Louisiana Eva Hennen McCracken Alfred Wood Spiller Charles Congreve Carter Joseph Busch Carter Caron Carter Penny Hammond Louisiana There is a story that one person is buried standing up in this cemetery. There is a circular brick bordered gravesite (about the size of a coffin) next to the grave of Cora Morris Caruthers. Perhaps this is where it is located. (Note: In the recording done in 1969, a couple places the name Hennen is spelled incorrectly as Hennon. All headstones have the name as Hennen. Also, Caroline Louise Hennen is the wife of William Mure, not Muse.)
