Take 165 North and turn right on Fairbanks road.  There is 
a cotton field to the left of the road and nice homes on 
the right.  Just before crossing the bayou, there is a 
cotton field on the left, with a dirt road the farmers use 
to get to the field.  Ther is a narrow strip of woods on 
the right.  Turn onto this road and in 3 tenths of a mile, 
the headstones will be in the woods on the right.  This is 
private property, so please ask permission before going to 
the cemetery.  No name could be found for the cemetery, so 
surveyors named it Lily White Circle Cemetery because of 
the engravings on the surviving headstones.

Additional Comments:
Both have footstones with their surname on it, and both have a side view of a 
striding lion, with it's mouth open on the top of the headstone.  Below the 
lion is a downward pointing triangle with letters in each corner.  Left to 
right, top to bottom:  R, O, and F.  In the center of the triangle is the 
number 09.  There is one other headstone, made of concrete with no markings; 
possibly a child's grave.  There looked to be several other unmarked graves in 
the area.  Rubbings of the headstones were taken, and death certificates for 
both persons were found.  All are available for viewing in the Genealogy 
department of the Ouachita Parish Public Library.
