SUGAR HILL CEMETERY PAGE

This cemetery is known as the Tyson cemetery on old family property. The oldest grave that I've located there with a readable headstone is for Leonard Payne (son of Marshall Payne & Martha Herndon) who was buried there in 1882. This is a cemetery for African Americans and along with Tysons, you have Paynes, Gipsons, Durdens, Junes, Caldwells, Herndons, Gilliams, Johnsons, Sewells, all the other related families. Please visit redriversankofahs.org for more pics and info on Sugar Hill as well as the best list of cemeteries you'll find for the ARK-LA-TEX area as well as their restoration project for old cemeteries.
