Mary Jane Horton died at the Jackson State Hospital in East Feliciana Parish, Louisiana. She was placed there in 1911 and remained until her death in 1922. She was buried at the cemetery located on the property of the hospital. I made an attempt to go to the property to locate the grave and take a picture; however, I was not allowed to enter the property to view the cemetery. I was told that since the hospital was there and patients might be walking around, cameras were not allowed.
I was told that the graves had originally been marked with wooden crosses that had been destroyed by storms of the past. They had no records to verify which plot she was buried in. I was also told that many of the markers have been replaced by markers made by inmates at a local prison.
Two of her children, many of her grandchildren, and lots of other family members are buried at Fillmore Cemetery. In 2009, family members at a Horton family reunion in Bossier Parish voted on purchasing a headstone and having it placed at Fillmore Cemetery in her honor. It was appropriately placed in a section where other family members are buried.
