Bellview Burial - Vernon Parish Submitted by Jane P. McManus ********************************************** Copyright. All rights reserved. http://usgwarchives.net/copyright.htm http://usgwarchives.net/la/lafiles.htm ********************************************** Directions: From LA Hwy. 8 in Simpson, turn north at the junction onto LA Hwy. 465 and go toward Hutton for approximately 6.0 miles. When the main road turns sharply west (90-degree turn), turn right and go .8 miles. This abandoned African American cemetery is located about 1.0 miles from the road, deep in the woods on leased property. The only remaining tombstone was almost hidden under brush and briars. The location would be impossible to find without a guide who knows the area, has permission to enter the posted property, and knows where to look. Tombstone inscription recorded by Jane P. McManus 11 April 1996 with assistance from Elaine Ogletree's son. Submitted 10 February 2001. Daws, Artificial - 25 Jun 1892 Aritoma LA / 5 Aug 1935
