Mt. Pleasant Cemetery (Simpson) - Vernon Parish Louisiana Submitted by Jane P. McManus Date: February 8, 2000 ********************************************** Copyright. All rights reserved. http://usgwarchives.net/copyright.htm http://usgwarchives.net/la/lafiles.htm ********************************************** Mt. Pleasant Cemetery is located in the community of Simpson in Vernon Parish. From LA Hwy. 8, turn left onto paved road approximately 3.0 miles southwest of the Simpson High School. A large butane gas storage tank is on the right across LA Hwy. 8 from the turnoff. A short distance down this paved street, the road turns left (a 90-degree turn), and the cemetery is located on the right just after the turn. It is fenced and maintained by the Simpson Cemetery Association. Shortly after the first settlers arrived in this area in the mid 1860's, they established and built a Christian Church in the area where Mt. Pleasant Cemetery now stands. The log building was used as a schoolhouse during the week and a church on Sunday. The first minister was Rev. Allen W. Jackson who had recently arrived from Alabama with his brother and their two families, and the first schoolteacher was Miles Gibson Parker. Both are buried in this cemetery, and Rev. Jackson's tombstone can be seen in the photograph beside the church. His was the first burial in Mt. Pleasant Cemetery. Genealogical information not on the stones is included in brackets, and the researcher should be cautioned to verify before use. Tombstone inscriptions were recorded from just inside the front gate, at the far right corner to the back in zigzag rows by Jane P. McManus, April 1993 and updated January 17, 1995.
