WELCOME
CEMETERY Simpson (Vernon Parish)
At
the intersection of LA Hwys. 8 & 465 in Simpson, turn North onto LA Hwy.
465 and go toward Hutton for approximately 1.0 miles. Turn right onto Welcome Cemetery Road and continue a short
distance to the cemetery (on the right).
It is well marked, fenced, and maintained by the Simpson Cemetery
Association. A grass driveway divides
the property, and tombstone inscriptions were recorded in two sections from the
front to back in zigzag rows from just inside the front gate by Jane Parker
McManus, 13 January 1993, updated 17
January 1995. Further updates were made
in July 2001 by Mary Parker Partain. A
beautiful covered pavilion outside the cemetery fence was graciously donated to
the cemetery association in memory of
Geraldine Snap Landrum (27 Oct 1930 / 10 Jan 1995) by her husband,
Harold L. Landrum.
The
doctrine of the Church of God of Anderson, Indiana, was first brought to
Louisiana by the Rev. R.H. (Bob) Owens in 1897. Shortly after he established the first Church of God in Sharp,
Louisiana, he moved on to organize the people of Simpson. At first, Rev. Owens preached in private
homes, school houses, under brush arbors, or anywhere the people of the area
would gather to hear him speak. When he
preached the doctrine at the Mt. Pleasant Christian Church in Simpson, three of
its members were converted: James
(Jimmy) Harville, Dycie (Parker) Dennis, and Rebecca (Jackson) Parker. For a short period of time, these were the
only three members of the new church, with Rev. Owens serving as pastor.
The
first year of existence saw an increase of membership from the neighboring
churches, and a new minister joined Rev. Owens. Rev. William Harrison (Willie) Jackson served as pastor of the
church from 1897 to 1914. The first
members of the church in 1897 were:
Willie Jackson, Willie Parker, Frank Parker, Sam Tippit, Gip Parker, Monroe Carver, Dan Williamson, Elijah Williamson, Frank D. Jackson, Joshua Peavy, Madison Trotti, William Parker, Jimmy Owens, Sarah (Tinsley) Williamson, Viola (Tinsley) Williamson, Callie Peavy, Mollie (Tinsley) Brown, Nancy (Peavy) Tippit, & Isabell (Owens) Parker.
The first structure was a box house, made of
rough lumber, and was situated on two acres on Caney Creek. The small congregation named it the Welcome
Church of God. The land, donated by
Armstrong Bennett and Ellen Jackson, was recorded in Vernon Parish Courthouse,
Leesville, Louisiana in 1899.
State of Louisiana, Parish of Vernon
Know all men by these presents, that I Armstrong Bennett and
Ellen, my wife, of Simpson Post Office, State of Louisiana, Parish of Vernon,
for and in consideration of four dollars ($) to me paid cash in hand the
receipt whereof is hereby acknowledged, do give, grant, sell, and convey unto
the Church of God at Welcome which is situated in the Parish and State
aforesaid and in the N Ό of the SW Ό of S6T3NR6W. The following described lot or parcel of land containing two
acres more or less with all the improvements and imp --- thereon and described
as follows: said lot or parcel of land
to commence at a stake placed in the ground on the section line between the
above described land and Section One in the adjoining Township and in the NW
corner of lot and runs South 315 feet thence East 279 feet, thence North 315
feet thence West 279 feet back to starting point. Said lot or parcel of land with all improvements thereon to be
held, maintained, and used for a place of divine worship and to be open and free
to all Gods people, to have and to hold the same to the said Church of God for
their use forever and I the said Armstrong Bennett and wife do covenant with
the said Church of God that we are lawfully signed in fee of the premises that
they are free from all incumbrances that we have a good right to sell the same
as aforesaid and that we will warrant and defend unto the said Church of God
against the lawful claims and demands of all persons.
/s/
Armstrong Bennett & Ellen Bennett
In
1906, the members moved their place of worship to a new location (about two
miles from the first church). A
well-built, white frame building was erected to the left rear corner of the
present day Welcome Cemetery. The
church was expanded in 1927 to accommodate the larger congregation, and finally
moved in April 1937 to the present-day Hwy. 8 location, and renamed the Simpson
Church of God.
The
cemetery began in its current location with the burial of the son of Samuel and
Nancy (Peavy) Tippit. When young
Clinton Tippit had died in 1905, the Tippits buried him beside the original
church building. With the move to the
present location, the Tippits were grief-stricken when they realized it was
only a matter of time before their babys grave would be lost as the forest
reclaimed the property. Rev. Willie Jackson,
then pastor of Welcome Church of God, was disturbed for his faithful
followers. He solicited Monroe Carver,
another church member, and the two of them went to Leesville where they
acquired the necessary permission and had the babys grave moved beside the new
church. When the Tippits arrived for
services on the following Sunday, Rev. Jackson escorted them to the new
cemetery to see their sons grave. The
young couple were touched at the compassion displayed by Rev. Jackson.
