The Wilmer Quadrangle map has this cemetery labeled STATHAM.  GNIS Coord:  0902005 
304735 (Wilmer).  Section 18 of T3S R9E.  Ward 4.  It is about 2.3 miles south of 
Wilmer via Hwy 1061 and Dummy Line Road, near Chappepeela Creek.  On a current 
parish road map, also named Statham, there appears to be an unnamed lane nearby.  
(Wilmer is on Hwy 10 about 8 to 10 miles east of I-55 and Hwy 1048 interchange.)
