OUACHITA CITY CEMETERY near Marion, Union Parish Louisiana Submitted for the Union Parish Louisiana USGenWeb Archives by Mary Anne Williams File prepared and contributed by Mary Anne Williams ************************************************ Copyright. All rights reserved. http://usgwarchives.net/copyright.htm http://usgwarchives.net/la/lafiles.htm ************************************************ OUACHITA CITY CEMETERY is located on the right side of Union Parish road 8840 three miles off Hwy 143 just north of Sterlington on Ouachita City Road The parish road is supposed to be Union Parish Road 8844 but I never saw a road sign to or from the cemetery. There is no sign at the cemetery. This is a very old cemetery with many graves unmarked and has several markers that are so old they are unreadable. Many of the old markers have been replaced with smaller markers with just the name and dates of birth and death on the flat markers. There are many square and round concrete patio blocks I assume are marking plots for future burials. It is a fairly well-kept cemetery. This was surveyed on November 12, 2004. If there is no date listed in either of the dates of birth or death columns, then there was no date on the marker. In "MISC INFO" column, "ho" means husband of, and "wo" means wife of. If there was a veterans marker, it is noted in the MISC INFO with rank and branch of service and where served as shown on the actual marker. LAST FIRST MID.
