Bond Cemetery, Allen Parish, LA. Contributed by Evelyn Cole. ************************************************ Copyright. All rights reserved. http://usgwarchives.net/copyright.htm http://usgwarchives.net/la/lafiles.htm ************************************************ Bond Cemetery is south-east of Oakdale, Louisiana. It is a very large cemetery on the back side of someones cow pasture. There is only a small portion in use at this time but with times changing the family is wise to have so much area under fence for the cemetery. They have planted pecan and live oak trees. To reach this nice cemetery, go east on La10 to La372, and follow this paved road about 7 miles. You will come to a paved road which "switches back" slightly. Follow this road about 1\3 of a mile. You will see the cemetery across the pasture before you come to it. There is a well-kept trail (a grassed driveway) to the entrance. Cross the cattle-guard carefully as it isn't level.
