This small abandoned cemetery is located in the Slagle community on Slagle 
Loop Road. From the post office on LA Hwy. 8, turn east onto Slagle Loop 
Road and go approximately .6 miles. Park on the north side of the road near 
a small dirt trail (hunting road) and walk approximately 100 yards. This small 
abandoned cemetery holds the remains of several of the Spanish community who
worked in the sawmills around Slagle during the early 1900's. The fence has 
collapsed on one side, and tombstones are difficult to find among the weeds & 
forest underbrush. Inscriptions were recorded by Jane P. McManus, 
7 December 1995, and submitted 10 October 2000.
