Fantastic. Nelson and Minnie as well, so chances are Meshie could be buried there as well.
Hope the cemetery can unravel the final piece of your mystery.

Regards
Sandra

I am trying to find the death and burial records for Myrtle Cooper, born 1892 in Louisiana USA.

Myrtle is the daughter of Henry Cooper 1863 and Eleanora Sanders 1870…

…I cannot find a marriage/death/burial for Mishie or Myrtle.

Sorry, I’m determined to find Henry and family in 1900 (still looking for a better date of birth for Myrtle, although I suppose it isn’t important now if her burial place has been found).  Is anything known about Henry, prior to his arrival in America?

The marriage of Henry C Cooper to Eleonora Sanders gives his parents as Littleton Cooper and Harriet Cooper as per family search record.

Delayed birth certificate for Ollie Cooper born 20 February 1905 - states he was born Dermott Chicot. Arkansas and Henry Cooper born Arkansas.
The 1910 Census for Oliver stated born Louisiana.

Recollections may vary........... :)

Willie Cooper (brother of Rodell) passed away 1968
Obit does not mention Myrtle.  Has she died between Rodell in 1962 and Willie in 1968.  This obit mentions Rose Clark, Ollie Cooper and Clyde Cooper. (one sister to find - could it be Goldie ??)
Myrtle doesn't seem to appear on the SSDI which was up and running by 1962. Perhaps she passed between Sullivan Cooper in 1959 and Rodell in 1962 ??
