Thanks, for the information. I have seen the 4 cemetery books of Claiborne Parish, but did not know where this was located.

Since several of you seem to be familiar with this cemetery I'd like to ask if anyone knows anything about my ancestor who is buried in this cemetery. Her name is Frances Elizabeth (Greer) Avery. She was born about 1823 in Georgia and died on November 23, 1907. She was the wife of William Avery. I have been trying to find out more about Frances Elizabeth Greer's parents. I have been told that they might be William Greer and Cynthia Smith but I have not had much luck finding anything on this couple. Anyone out there familiar with this family? Thanks!
