Holt Cemetery in New Orleans is the pauper cemetery. All you needed for 
burial was to pay someone to dig the plot. Sadly, many veterans are buried 
here from WWI to Vietnam with their tombstones now laying about, some 
upright, crooked and some flat on the ground now. This area is near City 
Park and has always been in disrepair, I'm sure Katrina did not help much 
with the flooding. Originally rumored to be a slave cemetery, but no real 
records were kept on this. Jeff and Sonny may know more than I do.
