Directions:  From Pineville, go north on US Hwy. 165 and turn right at 
traffic light in front of Proctor & Gamble plant.  Go through the front 
gate of Camp Beauregard, and continue straight through the base 
(this is "F" Street) for a little over a mile.  When you pass the helicopter 
landing strip, turn right between strip and the new federal building 
(under construction September 1992).  Go .6 miles, bearing to left after 
you cross small bridge.  The road is dirt, but passable.  Turn right on the 
only driveway that goes to the right, or walk from the road to the cemetery 
that cannot be seen from this spot.  

There are only three marked burials inside a small picket fence (about 15' x 15') 
made of rough board lumber.  The cemetery is maintained by the National Guard.  
Inscriptions were recorded by Mary Parker Partain, September 1992.
