NEW
BASQUE CEMETERY
St.
Martin
HISTORY:
The Bernard Basque Cemetery is located on the private property of
Bernard Basque just north of Old Fort Bayou in Jackson County. Mr.
Basque developed this family cemetery about 1980 as the result of
excessive vandalism at the remote William Seymour Memorial Cemetery
where some of his immediate family was buried. Three Basque family
members were removed from the Seymour Cemetery and interred in the
Bernard Basque Cemetery. Before entering the cemetery grounds
permission from Mr. Basque should be sought. He can be contacted at
875-5892.
