Found the followig while surfing:
The Bludworth Cemetery is located some five mi west of the Kisatchie Forestry Work Center, which is about twently miles south of th e LA Hwy 6 an d LA Hwy 117 junction at HAGEWOOD, LA, eight mi west of Natchitoches, LA. The cemetery is situated on lands formerly owned by POITEVENT BLUDWORTH (middle 1800's) and later owned by the Dowden family (J. A. "Andy" Dowden and son, Squire Edward Andrew Dowden, and grandson, James Andrew Dowden).
Well populated in the early 1900's by farmers and stockmen (horses, cattle, and sheep), the area boasted a church and a school" the Lone Star School. It is felt that the oldest marked burial in this cemetery is the gravesite of the wife of POITEVENT Bludworth, MARY ELIZABETH APPLEWHITE BLUDWORTH. A large stone marker is located nearby, but it has no inscription to indicate the burial of her husband.
You can see photos and names of those buried - on the following webstie:
