Edgefield Baptist Church Cemetery
Cheneyville, Rapides Parish, Louisiana, USA
to sharp curve that makes right angle. Edgefield Church in on the left in the sharp curve.
In 1967, the church built a neat frame building near the road. This structure is typical of small Southern churches with steeple above center door. With the need for a parking area, and larger building, it was necessary to move some of the vaults to the rear of the property. The rows of graves extend far behind the church into the edge of the field. There were so many unmarked vaults or slabs that they could not be listed in the proper location in this listing, but were counted and will be listed by number at the end. Tombstone inscriptions recorded as approached on 15 October 1996 by Mary Parker Partain.
On a plaque at the cornerstone of the small African-American Church is: 2nd Edgefield Baptist Church - Rebuilt 1967
Deacons: Ben Walker, Horace Patterson, Edward Williams, Frank Johnson, Henry Wilkins, Leonard Irving, Leonard Reed, Clyde Wilson, Charles Monk
Secretary: Mercedes Blue; Pastor: Rev. J. J. Parkes
