Ebenezer Baptist Church Cemetery Florien, Sabine Parish, Louisiana The Ebenezer Baptist Church is located 1.5 miles up the Ebenezer Road, just out side of Florien city limits. The church itself was established in 1882. In reading the tombstones I started started on the front row (futherest east) and read them from left to right all the way to the back. There were some tombstones that just could not be read. Other's had new markers that simply stated "Known Only To God" and I have listed those where they rested. I was also told by an elder church member that over the years there had been several graves that have simply been lost to time.
