Records show that Jane Smart Gossett (b.29 Apr 1840) died in Lake Charles in 1922. However I cannot find information about where she might be buried. Her husband G. M. Gossett is buried in Graceland/Orange Grove Cemetery there. If you can find my missing information, I would appreciate your sending it to me.

I have certainly enjoyed looking around this site. We are fortunate to have a lot of information on both sides of our family. A brother of mine has done extensive research over the last 30 years and has compiled a self-made book with information. He continued with information that had been started by my maternal grandfather. I wish everyone the best in searching for your ancestors. I have looked in the cemetary section of my parish (Calcasieu) and wonder why some of my relatives are not listed as they have been in these cemetaries for quite some time. Plan to look into that. Thanks again for a wonderful site!

What was the site of the Rigmaiden home?
If you have the coordinates (Latitude and Longitude), I can locate it.
Does Nibblets Bluff have any name connection to Dr Nebblets?
At what location did the schnooners off-load?
Has anyone taken on the task of "boiling down" the diary info in to something more readable? If so, where can I find a copy?
I mentioned my interest in this to Jan Craven some months ago. At age 79+, if I do take on the task, I would like to work with someone - or even a small group of interested and informed people. There is a story in the diary, if we flesh it out in the right way. I do not pretend to be a writer, but I know I can organize the facts in such a way, that understanding the diary will become easier. Genealogy is a long standing hobby for me and I have some sense of history about SW La and East Texas. I compiled a history of Beauregard Parish that was published in the Beauregard Daily News - in its first paper of this millenium - and a copy is in the Lake Charles library - as is brief bios on 22 BP men killed in war.
Please forward this to Jan, if you will.
Many thanks
