About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

According to Lincoln Parish History, a descendant of the intermarried Walkers and Wilders stated that Jim Walker and William Wilder arrived in Louisiana, specifically the area of Lincoln Parish, in the mid-1840s. These two men brought their wives, children, and people they kept enslaved from Georgia and South Carolina and made their homes on adjoining land. This cemetery, previously referred to as the "Walker Graveyard," was thought to be the burial grounds of the Walker/Wilder family.

Take exit 84 off I-20 and drive north through the residential section until you come to a 4-way stop. Turn left (west) at the 4-way stop onto Kentucky Ave/Hwy 544. Wilder Cemetery is a few miles down on the right. Wilder Cemetery is a small fenced in section surrounded on 3 sides by Kilpatrick Memorial Gardens with Hwy 544/Kentucky Ave on the 4th side. Kilpatrick and Wilder are the same location.
