Directions:  This cemetery is located in the Cotile-Crain area on property
leased by the Cotile-Bucks Hunting Club.  Permission to enter the area should be
obtained from Jack Schultz, President of the Club (1993).  It is a small fenced
area on top of a hill overlooking Bayou Rapides (near where Bayou Rapides Road
intersects with the road to Cotile).  The entire area is covered in brush and
almost impossible to reach except by ATV or walking at least a mile.  A
once-beautiful wrought-iron fence surrounds these few graves. Tombstone
inscriptions recorded by Mary Parker Partain, February 1993, assisted by Jack
