With family roots in south Louisiana and southwest Missouri, I am a beginning Find A Grave contributor. I have started mainly with family. For now, I am especially focused on making new memorials for overlooked family members, typically unmarried men and women, childless couples, or otherwise "orphaned" individuals I have included in-laws and family friends in similar situtations as well, but I am more than happy to pass these memorials along to the their own family members to manage. For now, I am spending more time on getting family relationships linked than entering new memorials. I welcome your corrections and suggestions.

SMART FAMILY CEMETERY (Louisiana) NOTES:

June 26, 2017: I am currently working to add memorials to the ones already listed. I do have family members buried here but I am not a blood relative of the Smart family. However, I am working under the guidance of my cousin, who is a member of the Smart family.

Note: 21 graves already had entires when I started. For the remaining 26, the grave and plot information came primarily from these two sources:

-1978 census by Willie Smart Higginbotham's compilation which was published in 1980 by the Edward Livingston Historical Society. I worked from the following version of that census: http://files.usgwarchives.net/la/livingston/cemeteries/smart.txt

-2016 census by C.A. Noble, a Smart family descendant.

If the headstone is visible, I used the numbering from the 2016 census. If not visible, I noted the numbering from the 1978 census.

Also, information was confirmed by a site visit on 7/20/17 the day the photographs were taken. (One new grave was identified, photographed, and is now included here). Please note that the rows in both censuses run parallel with the west-side fence with row #1 being closest to that fence.
