Cemetery Image: Matthew Bloom; Webster Par., Louisiana Photograph submitted by Sherry Gritzbaugh and LeVerne Langheld Kidd Date: Sept. 2004 ********************************************** Copyright. All rights reserved. http://usgwarchives.net/copyright.htm http://usgwarchives.net/la/lafiles.htm **********************************************  LeVerne made this photo in Sept of ' 94. They located NEAR her property in the pasture that belongs to Richard and Stanley Sanders. There's only 3 markers, the grandfather and 2 grandsons.  One marker has the name Matthew, born Oct. 1866 and died April 1887. The other infant named James, born and died on the same day 1868. We've often wondered if there may be more graves that are perhaps unmarked, or maybe the family moved on after the death of these family members. The inscription  reads :                                               Matthew Bloom                                                Born in Germany                                               Died Oct. 15, 1847                 Here I lay my burden down change the cross into the crown
