McAdams Cemetery
Survey made October 2008

Location and notes:  Located in Section 34, Township 21, Range 5. The area is now so overgrown with
brush that
unless a person knows exactly where the graves are, they are impossible to find.  More specifically we
drove out of
Lisbon (to the NE) on the Lisbon-Hebron road.  Exactly 2.8 miles outside of town, the road forked, and
we took the
left one which is marked as Friendship road (no indication of #51, however).  This took us NNW across
the creek
which appears (but is unidentified) on a "zoomed-in" map obtained from "Microsoft Streets and Trips".
Exactly 2.4
miles from where Friendship road splits off of Lisbon-Hebron road, there is indeed a "jeep trail" to
the right
(north from Friendship road).  I walked back along this trail for about 250 yards to an area (perhaps
1/2 acre)
which is still mostly cleared.  Unfortunately, I found no indication of the hoped-for two graves
either along the
trail, or within (or adjacent) to the clearing.  Friendship road eventually joins Highway 9 near
Antioch.
According to the information found in Claiborne Parish Cemeteries at the Homer Library, a survey made
by a Mr. Bill
Hightower in 1987 found two graves in McAdams cemetery.
