OLD TENNESSEE CEMETERY, Union Parish Louisiana Submitted for the Union Parish Louisiana USGenWeb Archives by Mary Anne Williams, 1/2005 ************************************************ Copyright. All rights reserved. http://usgwarchives.net/copyright.htm http://usgwarchives.net/la/lafiles.htm ************************************************ =============================================================================================== Cemetery surveyed 1 January 2005 by Larry and Mary Anne Williams. File prepared and contributed by Mary Anne Williams; file formatted by Karen Mabry Rice. =============================================================================================== =============================================================================================== CEMETERY DIRECTIONS: From Strong, Arkansas, go south on Arkansas Hwy 129. At the state line, the road changes to Louisiana State Hwy 549. Go to the community of Truxno. Turn left on Moshack Road. Go about 4 miles to Game Reserve Road. Turn left on Tennessee Road and go about 1 mile. You will pass an African-American cemetery on the right with no name. Old Tennessee will be on the left about 30 feet off the road. I do not know why the 3 Montgomery children were buried outside the cemetery. There are no other Montgomerys buried there. So, their parents must be buried elsewhere or in unmarked graves. 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. Notes too large to put in miscellaneous info are noted by number and appear at bottom. ================================================================================================= ================================================================================================= LAST FIRST MID.
