  2. Some online genealogy sleuthing indicates that a Joseph Nonc Joe Dobard is interred here. Dobard, Joseph "Nonc Joe" (1894-1955), husband of Eulalia Carrere ( - Bef 1920) The author may have more information and I do see the citation: "Obituary, The (New Orleans) Times-Picayune, 19 Dec 1955, page 2." [http://bayoubohemia.net/genealogy/getperson.php?personID=I34&tree=basetree] . Others noted on Find A Grave. http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gsr&GScid=67392
