VIRGIN CEMETERY

This cemetery is located near the Virgin Bend on Little River. Take 127 South
of Jena going to the Rogers Community, turn left on first gravel road past
Webb Store, go to end of gravel and follow dirt road, cemetery is on left a
short distance from Little River. This Cemetery has a few marked graves with
several unmarked graves out side fence. Evidently some of these graves are of
descendants of Levi Virgin, a Steam Boat Captain who plied the waters from
Little River to New Orleans. The Burdwell's were friends of Captain Levi, as
he was called, according to Mr. Franklin Corley a life long resident of this
community.
