Gansville Cemetery AKA Siloam

NOTE: While they are not two geographically separate cemeteries, you are likely noticing a distinct separation on the property because the grounds are shared by two different denominations:
1. The Baptist Cemetery: Associated with the Siloam Baptist Church itself.
2. The Methodist Cemetery: A separate denominational section located right next to or on the same broader Siloam plot. Historical records indicate the Baptist church actually moved its structural site some years prior, leaving the shared plots tightly clustered together near the original grounds.

The confusion usually arises because local historical records and mapping platforms alternate between these names depending on whether they are referencing the community or the church associated with the grounds:
• Gansville Cemetery reflects the geographic location—the rural community of Gansville located off Louisiana Highways 505 and 1234 in northern Winn Parish.
• Siloam Cemetery (sometimes historically spelled Silome) gets its name from the Siloam Baptist Church, which sits on the exact same plot of land.
