WALE CEMETERY - RAPIDES PARISH

From Alexandria, take US Hwy 165 South.  Turn right onto Kisatchie Forest
Road # 208 (just past the Alexandria Memorial Gardens Cemetery).  Wale
Cemetery is located on the left approximately 1.1 miles down this forest
road.  Although the cemetery covers approximately one acre, it contains
only a few burials.  There are large pine trees inside the cemetery fence
among the burials.  

The tombstone inscriptions were recorded by Mary Parker Partain, May 1990,
and submitted by Jane Parker McManus on 20 January 2000.
