There are cemeteries named Garden of Memories in Paducah in Cottle County, Texas, Metairie in Jefferson Parish, and Jonesboro in Jackson Parish, Louisiana. There is a Woodlawn Garden of Memories Cemetery in Houston, Texas.'' Gardens of Memory Cemetery is a modern cemetery in Minden, the seat of Webster Parish in northwestern Louisiana. It was established in 1957 at 1527 Lewisville Road by Carlos S. Green (1908–1979) and Edward James Kleinegger (1906–1981), owners of the former Green-Kleinegger Funeral Home, since purchased and operated at 211 Murrell Street by the Rose-Neath Company of Shreveport.〔Earlene Mendenhall Lyle and Barbara Mendenhall McLemore, ''Gardens of Memory Cemetery'', 2002, p. 95〕 Green came to Minden in 1944 as a funeral home manager from Many in Sabine Parish in western Louisiana, where he was co-owner with M. O. Dennis of the former Dennis-Green Funeral Home.〔"Carlos S. Green Is New Manager of Funeral Home", ''Minden Herald'', March 24, 1944, p. 1〕 Like other similarly named cemeteries, Gardens of Memory has only flat grave markers of varying styles, with a few upright monuments erected by the cemetery itself to designate various sections of the grounds. Minden-area burials prior to 1957 occurred either at smaller nearby rural cemeteries or at the older, still functioning, historic Minden Cemetery at the intersections of Pine Street, Goodwill Road, and Bayou Avenue.〔 There is an original owners' plot for Green, Kleinegger, and their wives, Vasta Smith Green (1908–2002), who retired as a teacher at E.S. Richardson Elementary School, and Augusta "Pat" Kleinegger (1912–1964). The different "gardens" include The Lord's Supper, Good Shepherd, Prayer, Faith, and Youth. A sixth garden, The Cross, has been opened on the right side of the cemetery, as the grounds expand.〔Lyle, "Gardens of Memory Cemetery", p. vi.〕 ==Notable interments== *J. D.
