This small cemetery is less than an acre in size, is surrounded by a chain
link fence, and is located approximately .5 miles south of LA Hwy. 10, just
outside the Fort Polk Military Reservation.   Near the front gate just
inside the chain-link fence, there is a smaller old wire fence that
encloses two burials.  Most of the graves in this cemetery do not have
tombstones, but are marked with large sandstone rocks at the head and foot.
 The few marked stones have eroded and are extremely difficult to read, and
one stone is completely unreadable.   Information from an earlier recording
was used to verify the data.  Tombstone inscriptions recorded from just
inside the front gate on 11 January 1995 by Jane P. McManus.   Submitted 3
February 2000.
