A. R. Dowden Cemetery

The A.R. Dowden Cemetery is located about five miles northwest of Kisatchie,
LA (intersection Hwy 117 and 118), near the site of the first Kisatchie Post
Office, off Forest Service Roads 350 and 377. It is a small family cemetery,
on Kisatchie National Forest property. The cemetery also contains the grave of
Captain C. J. Dufroco, who came into the Kisatchie area during and after the
Civil War, hunting persons AWOL from the army. He stayed to teach in the
country schools in the Kisatchie area. He was held in high regard by the
people of this area, and contributed much to the education of the children of
those people.
