UNNAMED CEMETERY - Grant Parish


On LA Hwy. 8 at Boyce, cross Red River Bridge into Grant Parish, and go toward
Colfax about .25 mile (just past the first house).  Turn left on blacktop road
that becomes dirt.  At levee, bear to the left and drive on top of levee or go
down to river bank (depending on whether dredging is going on).  In 1995, both
were good, hard roads.   There were only two markers located in this burial
site, and both could be easily overlooked.  The underbrush and nettles were so
thick it was impossible to determine if there were other unmarked burials or
collapsed tombstones in the area. Tombstone inscriptions recorded by Mary
Parker Partain, and Jack Fraziar Jr. in February 1995, and Submitted to   USGENWEB   -   by Jane
