Biographical / Historical
In 1859, the City established the Locust Grove cemetery, located in the square bounded by Sixth, Seventh, Magnolia (now Freret) and Locust (now S. Robertson) Streets, for the indigent. Locust Grove No. 2, in the square bounded by Sixth, Harmony, Locust, and Magnolia Streets, opened in 1877. Both cemeteries closed in 1879 and in 1905 they were demolished to make way for the Thomy Lafon school and a playground.
