(ForumNews, 1158 Texas Ave., Shreveport, LA 71101, 318 222-0409, FAX: 318 222-1725. Jay Covington, President/Publisher can be contacted at: jay@theforumnews.com) The full page article includes a picture of Marion McMillan and general information re the McMillan family in Shreveport, LA after the civil war. Marion McMillan and Andrew J. Pickens were sons-in-law of Charles Graves and his wife, Louisa Jane Walton Graves. BURIALS AT THE McMILLAN CEMETERY - Shreveport, LA Although most graves at the McMillan Cemetery are unmarked -- largely owing to vandalism and neglect over many years -- the names and dates formerly on the gravestones were, fortunately, recorded. Today, a large granite monument lists all the know burials there. Remaining tombstones stand nearby. Charles Graves, 1796 - 1849 Andrew J. Pickens, 1817 - 1873 John Sherwood Auld, 1846 - 1849 Laura Pickens Petteway, 1853 - 1934 Marion McMillan, 1832 - 1914 Volumbria Aurelia McMillan, 1856 - 1914 Andrew Jackson McMillan, 1862 - 1915 Archibald Blue McMillan, 1866 - 1937 Carrie Lee McMillan Holmes, 1861 - 1931 Louisa Jane Walton Graves, 18-3 - 1873 Laura Almerea Graves Pickens, 1831 - 1876 Mulberry B. Petteway, 1824 - 1853 Charles Bruce Petteway, 1852 - 1853 Georgiana Adella Graves McMillan, 1833 - 1907 Lula Belle McMillan, 1864 - 1892 Adella Octavia McMillan, 1859 - 1907 Thomas Wendell Holmes, 1857 - 1922 Adella Davis Hester, 1850 - 1851 The Petteway family home still stands at 4203 St. Vincent Avenue, Shreveport, LA and is a landmark of the Cedar Grove/Caddo Heights area. The business and personal papers of Archibald Blue McMillan, Marion and Georgiana McMillan's son, are today housed in the archives of LSU-Shreveport. My research does NOT include these surnames...just passing the information along since this is a cemetery not likely to be found in traditional listings.
