Recorded 17 Feb. 1985 by Henry & Audrey Westerman.  This cemetery is on the
left descending side of Hwy 1 as you approach Leeville.  All the tombs face
the waterway indicating the approach to the cemetery was by boat.  There are
more tombs, very old, but not marked.  Some of them have completely  sunken
into the wet, marshy ground and are no longer visible.  Those who died in 1905
possibly were victims of the yellow fever epidemic of that year.
