All rights reserved. http://usgwarchives.net/copyright.htm http://usgwarchives.net/la/lafiles.htm ********************************************** ROCKY HILL CEMETERY - Rapides Parish Directions: From Alexandria go South on US Hwy. 165, turn left at blinking light in McNary (Cades Road). This is the road to Cocodrie Lake. Cross tracks and continue for 2.7 miles. Cemetery is on the right on a hill, clearly seen from the road. A good hurricane fence surrounds the property that is about an acre in size. A wooden sign is attached to the fence with the letters of the cemetery name cut into the wood and painted white. "Jack Carter" is written on the bottom of the sign. As there were not many burials, tombstone inscriptions were recorded as approached from the front fence toward the back by Mary Parker Partain February 1993, and submitted by Jane P. McManus, July 2000. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [unreadable name], Infant son of [unreadable] - b&d 2 Jan 1894 Carroll, Wm. Thomas, son of J.
