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.
