RUGG'S BLUFF CEMETERY -- Near Point, southeastern Union Parish Louisiana Submitted for the Union Parish Louisiana USGenWeb Archives by Mary Anne Williams 2-19-2005 ************************************************ Copyright. All rights reserved. http://usgwarchives.net/copyright.htm http://usgwarchives.net/la/lafiles.htm ************************************************ ============================================================================================== Cemetery surveyed February 5, 2005. File prepared and contributed by Mary Anne Williams; file formatted by Karen Mabry Rice. ============================================================================================== ============================================================================================== RUGG'S BLUFF CEMETERY is located northwest of Point, 3.4 miles off LA 552 down Rugg's Bluff Road, to Dumas Road. Turn left and cemetery is located on the left. This cemetery has many old and homemade markers that were hard to read. I deciphered the inscriptions to the best of my ability. In "MISC INFO" column, "ho" means husband of, and "wo" means wife of; "so" means son of and "do" means daughter of. If there was a veterans marker, it is noted in the MISC INFO column with rank and branch of service and where served as shown on the actual marker. "No dod" or "no dob" means there was no date inscribed on the marker for birth or death. ============================================================================================== ============================================================================================== LAST FIRST MID.
