Top picture is marker for Manna Rich Ariail, son of Jean-Baptiste (John) Ariail and Hannah Rich. Bottom picture is marker for Elizabeth Bulick his wife. When the Ariail Cemetery Committee found these two graves they were listed as abandoned. The graves are at St. Michael’s Cemetery in St. Martinsville, Louisiana. They were to be cleaned off and the plot sold to someone else to be used. Through extensive negotiations with the personnel in charge of the cemetery, the Ariail Cemetery Committee purchased perpetual rights to these two graves. There is a deed in the Ariail Library to that effect and the graves are not to be destroyed or reused by anyone in the future. This is the brother of John Harvey Ariail, Sr. who married Climelia Chloe Ives and lived in South Carolina.
