French Cemetery (D'Artigo)
Read July 28, 1999 By Evelyn Corbett Cunningham
This is an old one. It reads like a history book. It was originally know as
D'Artigo. I don't know when the name changed. It was still listed as
D'Artigo on death certificates and Obits for some of my relatives in the
1950s and 1960s. My Great Aunt Jewel BreedLove Sharbino told me that it got
the name D'Artigo from people chasing hogs and hollering "Dart they go."
Some of the stones are so old that they are totally unreadable. It is very
well maintained and even has a swing under a tree. It is extremely isolated.
I have copied the stones just like I read them, so if there are any mistakes
please forgive them. Also some of the double stones have wedding dates on
them, which I found to be unusual.
