DIRECTIONS:
From the intersection of Bienville Boulevard (US 90) and Washington

to Porter Avenue. At Porter turn left (east) and go one block to

Bellande Cemetery on the right (West).
HISTORY:
Bellande Cemetery is named for Joseph Bellande (1813-1907), a French
immigrant seaman, who settled in Ocean Springs in 1835. He had come
from Marseille where his
family
were caulkers in a local shipyard. As a result of his marriage to
Roseline LaFauce (LaForce) (1821-1893), a heir of the Catherine
Bourgeois (1768-circa 1845), the Widow
LaFontaine, he received title to about 20 acres of land from the
front beach on the Bay of Biloxi to County Road (Government
Street). Today, City Hall, the Public Library, Police
Station, a part of Children's Park, Bellande Avenue, Dewey Avenue,
and the cemetery are located on this land.
Joseph
Bellande made his livelihood as a fisherman and sailor. He was the
father of eleven children. C.E. Schmidt, the noted Ocean Springs
historian and author, thought that this cemetery is the oldest in
Ocean Springs. He suspected that the Bellande Cemetery commenced as
a family burial plot for the LaFontaine Family and then became a
neighborhood cemetery for many of the early Ocean Springs families:
Ryan, Beaugez, Seymour, Ladnier, Catchot, Bellman, Westbrook,
Benezue, Mathieu, and Cox.
The
original size of the Bellande cemetery was .77 acres (168 feet x 200
feet). With the
purchase of .28 acres (80 feet x 155 feet) from Rita K. Holloway on
March 5, 1976, the city expanded the size of the cemetery to its
present size of 1.05 acres.
In the
original Bellande Cemetery, no grave lots had ever been sold. The
descendants of the old families took grave sits as they were
needed. The City of Ocean Springs, after the Holloway purchase in
1976, sold lots in the southern addition until recently. According
to City Clerk,
Sandra
Jenkins, all cemetery lots are sold.
