All rights reserved. http://usgwarchives.net/copyright.htm http://usgwarchives.net/la/lafiles.htm ********************************************** From Pitkin, take LA Hwy. 10 west toward Leesville. At approximately 2.8 miles from the Marlow Cemetery, the road turns sharply north. Right as the road turns right, there is a dirt road (FR 1902) on the left. Take this dirt road for approximately 11.1 miles. When the road makes a sharp "S" turn (a sharp turn left for 1/4 mile and back right for 1/4 mile), take the first right turn onto Johnsonville Road. A sign for the cemetery is at this corner. The cemetery is located about .1 mile down this road, is fenced, well maintained. A building is available on the property for funerals or meetings. Tombstone inscriptions were recorded from just inside the front gate to the immediate right in rows from the front fence by Jane P. McManus on 19 March 1994.
