Turn right onto LA Hwy. 392, and continue for approximately 1.8 mile. Turn left onto Farris Cemetery Road, which is an unimproved dirt road. At approximately .5 miles, the road curves sharply to the right. On the left outside curve, the cemetery can be seen nestled in a grove of large pine trees. This small family cemetery is fenced and well maintained with many beautiful Camilla & holly bushes scattered through the small area. Tombstone inscriptions were recorded from inside the front gate, front to back as approached by Jane P. McManus 17 January 1995.
