I am interested in the Campground Cemetery (once called Methodist Campground Cemetery) near Gardner, LA. I found the list of burials online, but I am curious about the history of this cemetery. What church(es) funded it? Who has the burial records from the cemetery (not the list of headstones)? Have recent burials taken place there? If so, whom does one contact to purchase a plot? I ask these questions because there is a group of Herring/Herrin headstones there. I am researching this elusive family and since my gggrandfather, Stephen A. Herring, was interred at Campground, I am curious about the cemetery's origins. Thanks, Alma Reed

Alma, I'm interested in the same information. Please contact me if you learn anything.
