GREENWOOD CEMETERY
CADDO PARISH, SHREVEPORT, LOUISIANA
130 Stoner Ave. (between Market and Cornwell)
Easily accessible from I-20. It is near the downtown area of
Shreveport. From east or west on I-20, take the Spring St./Market
St exit and go south on Market St. As soon as you get off I-20
the road branches to the right and left. Market St. goes to the
right and Youree Drive branches off the left. If you stay on
Market it will take you to the corner of Market and Stoner which is one
corner of the cemetery and near one of the front entrances. There
are two entrances to the cemetery off Stoner. If you accidentally
find yourself going south on Youree just turn right when to you get to
Stoner and it is about 3 short blocks down. In fact, you can see the
cemetery on the right as you drive down Youree.
This is an ongoing project and is by no means a complete listing.
I have taken most of the transcriptions
from the tombstones directly and in a few cases where the stones are
too old to be read (or chipped, partially buried, tipped over,
etc.) I found some information at the library. If you know
of errors in this transcription, please let me know and I will correct
them for you. I have pictures for
most of the stones listed below in black type. If there is a
picture you would like sooner you can
email
me and I will put it up sooner and/or email you a copy. I tend to go in
alphabetical order and start over again at the A's when I add more
tombstones. If you have names and/or photographs to add
here I would be happy
to add them. I have listed veterans
that I am aware of in red. Good luck with
your research.
