From junction of LA Hwy. 8 and LA Hwy. 28 in Leesville, go East toward
Alexandria on LA Hwy. 28 approximately 16.2 miles. Turn right (South) on
gravel road (Laurel Hill Cutoff Road, Vernon #38). Sign on right side of
road indicates cemetery is two miles from this location. Continue on
Vernon #38 (gravel road) approximately .7 mile from the sign. When the
road ends, turn left (East) on second gravel road and continue for 1.0
mile. Church is on the right side of the road, and cemetery is to the
right of the Church in the bend of the road. A sign on the gate indicates
the cemetery was established in 1887.

If weather is bad, an alternate route exists which is approximately the
same mileage as above route, however, the roads are paved. From Leesville,
take LA Hwy. 28 toward Alexandria. Turn right (South) onto LA Hwy. 121 at
Slagle cutoff, and go 8.5 miles. Turn left onto LA Hwy. 489 and go 1.0
miles, turn left again onto Laurel Hill Road and go 2.0 miles to the Church
which is on the left. 

A brief history of the church is provided using information taken from the
early Church minutes. Many references were made in the minutes to the
graveyard. The membership would often meet at the cemetery for the purpose
of cleaning the area. A meal provided by the women was enjoyed by all in
attendance. This practice has continued to the present time, and as a
consequence the cemetery at Laurel Hill continues to be a clean, well-kept
area, a silent testimony of the respect and dignity for the final resting
place for all who are buried there. Homecoming is held on the 1st Saturday
in July, when descendants of the old members return to enjoy the fellowship
of the church. 

Information in brackets was provided by family members or local researchers
and should be verified. Tombstone inscriptions were recorded from the gate
near the church to the opposite fence in zigzag rows by Jane P. McManus on
17 January 1995.

* * * HISTORY * * *

Laurel Hill Missionary Baptist Church was founded on Saturday, 19 June 1869
by a group of people who met with Elder W. S. Terrell. 

Charter members were: (males) John Luttrell, James Bunch, W. M. White,
Marion M. White, Levi Luttrell, Andrew F. Burge, B. F. Mashoun, W. R.
Burnes [Burns], John Driden [Dryden], Demetriss Crawford, J. W. Jowers,
James Terrell, A. J. Boyd, G. S. Wells, Columbus Jowers, Jerry Bass, B. R.
Walker; and (females) Lucretia Sellers, ? [Mary Bass] Bunch, A. [Ann]
Burnes [Burns], Caroline Bunch, Margaret Luttrell, Casthti Mashoun, Helen
M. White, Caroline McMillon, Lucinda Bradley, Catharine J. Smith, Frances
E. [Emeline] Smith, Catherine Haymon, Elizabeth A. Ball, Nancy Bennett,
Ellen Spurgeon, Mary Jane Smith, Ava Gorum, Rebecca Jowers, Minerva J.
Smith, Mary Susan M. White, Felisha Jones, Martha J. Burnes [Burns],
Margaret Smith, Ann Crawford, Milly Gorum, Mary Gorum, & Eliza Smith.

At the first church session, James Bunch was elected deacon of the church,
and William M. White was elected as church clerk. Church records begin in
April 1871, soon after Vernon Parish was created. These notes are
interesting and inspiring to read as the church was full of outstanding
members, and sent out many ministers to preach the gospel. 

On 4 May 1878, Laurel Hill Baptist Church united with the Vernon Baptist
Association, a little closer to home. The first church was a wood building
located across the road a short distance away from the present building.
This 2-story structure was used until it burned in later years. 

In the earlier days, new converts were baptized in the nearby creek. Often
the church minutes would record that the congregation was dismissed to meet
at the "waterside" for the purpose of baptizing new members. Afterward,
they would return to the Church to offer the right hand of fellowship to
the converts. The "baptizing hole," was first mentioned in the minutes in
June of 1879, but continued to play an important role in the church
services throughout the early records. 

In 1880, the membership voted to change the name of the church to "Sardis
Baptist Church," but in 1882, that decision was reversed and the body has
been known as Laurel Hill Baptist Church since that time. 

The second building was also erected across the road from the present
church, and it was a small box house with 12-inch planks which were used
vertically. In 1900, a committee of three men was appointed to buy land
for the Church & Cemetery. William N. Lawrence delivered 4.0 acres to the
church. That deed is recorded at the Vernon Parish Courthouse in
Leesville. Joseph Rudicille was pastor of the church in 1901. In 1969,
construction began on the current brick structure was moved across the
street beside the cemetery.
