Inscriptions on monuments listed in sequence as they were read. Since
there was a heavy ground cover of vines, some monuments could easily
have been missed. Inventoried May 18, 1981 by Gladys L. Sandefur and
Inez Sandefur LaHaye.
The following was taken from a letter that Mrs. Sandefur received from Mrs.
Thelma Pierrell of Washington, St. Landry parish, Louisiana, in 1975.
"Moundville was a laid off town before Washington was formed because it
was a better steamboat landing. It had a school, church and plots of land
exceeding 100 in number. A bridge allowed Bayou Boeuf people to reach
the cemetery. In 1960, when I went there last, a gully had widened and taken
in many graves the older people say were buried there. One, Ferdinand
Wartelle whose family bought up the lots as people died or moved away and
today Wartelle's plantation is called Moundville, La".
