The Nevils Cemetery is located in Allen Parish, in the Indian Village 
Settlement, ten miles west of Kinder, on Hwy 383, about .5 mile west of 
the Indian Village  Pentecostal Church, on the left side of Hwy 383.  
It is about 100 years old. The cemetery is well-kept, and all markers 
are very legible:  total of 18 graves. There is more space on the south 
side for the cemetery to expand, but none on the other three sides.  
The cemetery was divided into rows for documentation purposes, starting 
with the west line (or back line), and reading from south to north, or 
left to right. All graves face east Recorded by Ethel Fontenot Sacker in 
October, 2000. All readings were recorded exactly as written on grave 
markers, including any inscription.
