BREWER, EDMONDSON posted by Beverly on Saturday, May 8, 1999

I am looking for BREWER and EDMONDSON information in Grant Parish. I would like to contact the pastor or someone affiliated with Friendship Baptist Church Cemetary in Fishville, LA. I have written to a Pollock address for Friendship Cematary but have received no responce nor have I received the letter in return mail. I have many relatives buried in this cemetary and am trying to find out if someone has done a listing of this one. I am in Wyoming so it is hard for me to do research in LA. Thanks.
