Alcock LVH: Annotations by La Vaughn H. "LV" Hayes The location of this cemetery was mistakenly identified as Reeves (Allen Parish) in the original Kinfolks article. The cemetery is actually located near Gillis in Calcasieu Parish. Another Reeves cemetery, known as Reeves Memorial Park or Reeves Family, is located at Reeves. To reach Reeves Garden, take the Topsy/Bel road at Gillis and go 2.4 miles east to Mattie Reeves Road. Take this road north and go about 0.75 miles to where it ends at a farm house. The cemetery is about 100 yards northeast of the farm house.
