All rights reserved. http://usgwarchives.net/copyright.htm http://usgwarchives.net/la/lafiles.htm ********************************************** Directions: From the junction of US Hwy. 171 & LA Hwy. 28 in Leesville, go east toward Alexandria for approximately 2.5 miles. Turn (left) onto Bellvue Road, and cemetery is located just off the highway on the left behind the East Leesville United Pentecostal Church. This new cemetery is quite large, but as it is so new, there are only scattered burials at this time. The property is fenced, and well maintained. Tombstone inscriptions were recorded as approached from just inside the front gate by Jane P. McManus, April 15, 1992, and updated on 25 April 1996.
