Issue No. 5     March, 1995, Bethlehem Cemetery Newsletter

[Photos of Joshua & Mahala (Queen) Carpenter]


HISTORICAL NOTES: Have you ever looked at an old tombstone and wondered what
that person looked like?  With this newsletter, we begin a series of articles
that will put faces with some of the older markers.  We want to profile the
pioneering families of this area. If you have a picture of someone buried in
our cemetery that fits that category, send it, along with information on 
their family background, children, etc., to Peggy Beaubouef, Rt. 4 Box 532A,
Winnfield, LA 71483. Pictures will be returned! The real history of this
cemetery lies buried with these people. We will attempt to bring a small
portion of that history back to life through these articles.

     The couple shown here are Joshua Cornelius Carpenter and his wife, 
Mahala Ann Queen. Both were born in Mississippi, Joshua on 12 February 1845
and Mahala 7 October 1851. Joshua was the son of William Carpenter (born 1805
in Kentucky) and Elizabeth Marler (born 1810, also in Kentucky).
