Dust from thrown bricks still reddens the marble statue faces of children at one of Baton Rouge’s oldest cemeteries, evidence vandals left last week after they struck 19 graves. The vandals hurled bricks at statues and snapped off some headstones at the Magnolia Cemetery, located at North 19th and Florida streets. The cemetery dates to the 1850s and was the site of the Civil War Battle of Baton Rouge in 1862. Sylvia Duke, chairwoman of the cemetery’s board of directors, said volunteers ranging from Boy and Girl Scouts to the Young Leaders’ Academy of Baton Rouge have spent countless hours cleaning up and painting the cemetery, making last week’s destruction all the more senseless.
