The cemetery isn't very large and has about 40 graves with markers of some kind.
To visit this cemetery, turn east on Gene Nelson Road from LA 109.  Just before
it makes the turn to the north, there will be a road turning to the south ...
there is a small sign indicating "Cemetery" ... this will take you the short
distance to Archie Clark Cemetery on the left (or east) side of the road.
