This cemetery is located off Wise Road at the end of and south of Hamiter Road. To reach the cemetery, go north from Plain Dealing on Hwy 3 about 6 miles and turn left on the Hamiter Road. It will deadend on Wise Road. Turn to the left at this deadend; and the cemetery is close by on the right, almost visible from the turn. The legal description is Section 9, Township 23, Range 13. This inventory was done May 1, 1994, by Clifton D. Cardin. The cemetery contains 48 headstones. The earliest burial is that of Patience Hamiter, who died June 1, 1848. The earliest born person buried there is John Hamiter, who was born September 22, 1802. Someone added to the working book at the courthouse that Bobbie Sue, Linda Sue, and Patricia Kay Hamiter were daughters of Bossier Hamiter, Jr. They all died in a car wreck on the same day. (i.e., I can sympathize with their parents. I have walked that mile). The cemetery is dedicated. Bossier Parish Headstones, A Complete Inventory by Clifton D. Hardin Addendum I made a second inventory on August 26, 1998. Eight (8) names were added to the inventory. I also cleaned sixteen (16) of the 56 headstones prior to the inventory.
