John Guy of Anacoco led me down the winding dirt roads and through the 
woods of Northwest Vernon Parish to find the burial site for these three 
individuals.  I would recommend a guide to anyone who attempts to visit 
this area.  If that is not possible, start in the town of Hornbeck, and
turn West onto LA Hwy. 392.  After about 3.0 miles, you will pass the 
Self Cemetery on the left. Continue on this highway until you pass Gibbs 
Rd. on the right, and go to the next fork.  Turn right onto unimproved 
road for a short distance and then turn back left. At the next fork, a
sign in a tree on the right fork indicates "Old Cemetery."  The three 
gravestones can be seen in the center of the fork among the brush and grass.
