                         Moss Cemetery
         Bellwood, Natchitoches/Sabine Parish Line, LA
                 ******************************
From LA HWY 117, turn west on Bellwood Church Road, then go approximately 2 to
2 - miles and there will be a small road that cuts off to the right into the
woods. Pass a fenced-in gravesite (Masseys) on the left and then not very far
after that the road will turn back to the left. Stop here and get out and walk
down the slick clay road until it dead-ends into an unmarked cemetery. There
are a number of burials which are either unmarked or marked but with no names
or dates. Many of the burials are marked only by large rocks. The cemetery is
in an area of rolling hills and deep ravines and appears to receive little
upkeep. While in need of tender loving care, the cemetery has a sense of quiet
solitude, shaded by large trees that are draped with moss. Local residents
indicate that this is the Moss Cemetery.
