The Lost Governors
 Louisiana has misplaced the burial sites of these two governors:

Isaac Johnson - J. P. Smith Cemetery in West Feliciana Parish
Henry Johnson - Woodley Plantation, near Valverda, La 
 

This majestic remembrance of Governor Huey Pierce Long is on the state capitol grounds in Baton Rouge.

 

Gov. Packard, abdicated, rests here in beautiful Washelli Columbarium in Seattle, Washington.

 

The headstone of Governor Robert Charles Wickliffe rests in his father's family plot in Bardstown, Kentucky.

 

Gov. Armand Beauvais' tomb is suffering great neglect in St. Louis Cemetery #2 in New Orleans.
