From the Junction US Hwy. 171 in Leesville, turn onto LA Hwy. 8 West toward 
Burr Ferry and go 11.0 miles.  Turn left onto first dirt road past the large 
mobile home on top of the hill. There are very few residences along this road, 
but there are several mobile homes. Just before this road curves to the left 
and ends at a mobile home (approximately 1.0 miles from the highway), a trail 
(which can be easily missed) turns off to the right and continues up the hill
to the right of this last house.  The fenced cemetery is approximately .1 miles 
on the right side of this trail at the top of the hill.  The small family burial 
ground is not maintained, but the walk is short if the trail is not passable by 
car because of bad weather.  Inscriptions read by Jane P. McManus, 27 April 1995 
as approached from the front gate.
