Directions:   Go east on LA Hwy. 28 from Pineville, and turn right onto Parish
Road 1205 at Libuse.  Continue about 4.0 miles, and turn right on Denny Rd. 
(BEFORE Philadelphia Church).  About .5 miles past Craig Cemetery and past 
Hertz Road, stop at second house on right for directions.  The cemetery is in 
the woods behind this house, and was here when the property was purchased by 
the Campbell family.  We could not find anyone who knew about the family buried
here.  Only one stone was found, and it was broken and leaning on its base.  

There were many depressions in this area that might indicate the graveyard 
was quite large at one time.  A church was also located here; and as was the 
custom many years ago, many churches and schools were once housed in the same
building.  Possibly, this is the reason for the name "Schoolhouse Cemetery."
