     Near DeRidder on Highway 26 is an old cemetery which hasn't
been used since 1983 or so. There are many "lost" graves because we
have talked to local residents who saw it when the graves still had
markers. I'm sorry to report it is now grown very thick with brush
and briars.                                 
     It is on timber land which has been leased for hunting with a
locked gate at the only clear trail. Unless you have a very good
reason for visiting this cemetery, you would be wise to take our
word for the information.                         
     We would like to thank Winefred Moses for his help in finding
this cemetery and naming it. He saved us a lot of walking and
"briar scratches".

Winifred Moses tells us their are a great many members of the Singletary Family buried at Sweet
Home. There is no sign of any markers with this name.
