re: Forgotten Graves

One of my friends growing up had a grave in their back pasture that was there when they bought the property. It just said "Our Dear Father."

A lot of old pioneer cemetaries around here were destroyed by logging operations. THey'd run their heavy equipment through there and afterward there would be no sign of a cemetary.

Here's an interesting Winn Parish grave marker, obviously it replaced an older one.




The cemetary where some of my ancestors were buried has some Union Army soldiers buried there. The adjoining church was used as a hospital after the battle of Mansfield.
