Individual Details

There is a grave marked Mrs. Ben Avant, b. 1869, d. 1933 in the old St. Joseph Catholic Church Cemetery in Rayne, LA. The grave location is Sec. 201 no. 21, the same as a grave with a tombstone marked Dewey Avant, b. 1898, d. 1943. The only grave with a name of Ben or Benjamin Avant in the same cemetery is for Benjamin S. Avant b. Nov 5 1920 d. May 1 1958 at no. 22 in section 201. Perhaps Benjamin S. and Dewey are sons of Ben and Mrs Ben Avant, and Ben is buried elsewhere, or his tombstone is illegible.
