Old Matthews - Futch Cemetery

=================================================================================


This old abandoned cemetery is located in a cow pasture on a farm belonging to Buddy and
Margaret Williams on Cherry Ridge Road (Parish Road #6613 off Hiway 15) North of
Farmerville, La. It was at one time called McGoucher Cemetery and by other names.  
John Matthews lived nearby and his decendants are thought to be buried there.  Legend 
has it that this cemetery was at one time very large and was located on the corner of a 
crossroad. Today, there are only 10 gravestones and numerous cedar trees, but no crossroad.
