You will see the Vernon Baptist Church on your right. Turn rightthrough the church parking lot. Continue on out of the parking lot downa narrow woods road for about a quarter mile to the cemetery.The cemetery is badly in need of some maintenence as numerous stones arebroken and almost illegible as is the fence surrounding the cemeteryitself. It is a shame that this cemetery is not better kept as some ofthe people buried here helped to establish the first incorporated townin Jackson Parish and Vernon was the parish seat until about 1900.
