Wales Cemetery/Union Grove Cemetery - Vernon Parish, Louisiana Submitted by Jane McManus ********************************************** Copyright. All rights reserved. http://usgwarchives.net/copyright.htm http://usgwarchives.net/la/lafiles.htm ********************************************** Take LA Hwy. 8 from Leesville toward Simpson, and cross Calcasieu River bridges just past the town of Slagle. Turn North (left) onto next road, Calcasieu Loop Road (Calcasieu Baptist Church sign at this point), and go approximately .5 mile. Turn left again onto Calcasieu Church Road and go .5 miles to the end of the road. Cemetery is on the left beside the Calcasieu Baptist Church. It is well marked, fenced, and in good condition. This property originally belonged to William & Amelia (Bass) Wales. During the last half of the 1800's, a Weldon family was migrating to Texas and had requested permission to set up their camp near the Wales home as one of their young children was very ill. When the child died, William gave his permission to bury the youngster nearby. This burial was the first in the cemetery and is marked by a small concrete marker. The Wales family then set aside this small plot of ground to be used as a community cemetery. When Union Grove Church was organized, the members decided to build their church near the small cemetery. In later years the cemetery was sometimes referred to as the Union Grove Cemetery. Inscriptions were copied in zigzag rows from just inside the front gate on the right side. Copied by Jane P. McManus, 5 October 1995.
