Tombstone Tuesday: Unmarked Crosses Edition


Fuselier's Cemetery
Acadia Parish, Lousiana
Photo taken July 2010

On a trip to Acadia Parish, I stumbled on this little cemetery on a gravel road, far from anyone. There were several grave stones, but I was drawn to this line of unmarked crosses. Who were they for? Did the people all pass at the same time? Is this a special section of the cemetery? I sure wish I knew something about them.

  1. What a curious thing. Would the local historical society have any ideas?

  2. I could be wrong but it almost doesn't look like they are marking any graves. It's interesting

  4. Thanks for the comments and feedback. I'm a long-distance member of the local society there, so I'll just ask around and see if anyone knows.
