Formerly known as Bayou Cemetery, (where it is believed that those with leprosy were buried), St. Louis No. 3 was created in 1848 on the high stretch of land known as the Esplanade Ridge. Reverend G. L. Duquesnay bought the land to be used as a cemetery for the St. Louis Cathedral after an outbreak of yellow fever. The cemetery had three main aisles and four smaller alee's (aisles). In 1865, the depth of the burial grounds was extended to provide for less crowding. This cemetery is larger than both St. Louis Nos. 1 and 2 combined.

A dear aunt has gone to Glory!

Took this image with my first digital camera in April of 2002!
Lightroom 3 and Photoshop CS5 help quite a lot.

There is a horrendous street light on the face of the barn these days.

"And the ground came bursting forth"! Can you imagine what it would have been like to be there on the day the plates shifted, and to watch it all happen !?!

A cleaner redo of the one I posted yesterday - without the odd duck couple!
