Submitted by B. Jo Branch and Maude Gilmore Cemetery Reading & Photographs: 10 & 11 Mar 2006 2nd Photographs taken: 4 & 18 Nov 2006 by Junior and Jo Branch Cemetery photographs: http://usgwarchives.net/la/winn/cemimg/fellow/fellowship.htm Coordinates by E.

Follow this road until you see Fellowship Rd. on the left, turn there, then turn back right onto Sowers Rd. Fellowship Church and Cemetery are on the right. NOTE: On leaving Winnfield, Hwy 84 E., a mileage reading was done beginning at the end of the Dugdemona bridge. It is 16.5 miles to the Catfish House Rd. Every effort has been made to give a row by row reading. The rows run lenghthwise of the entrance. The reading began at the left side, first row, front to back. Please keep in mind that the “rows” are not straight as with the new cemeteries. Those gravesites marked with an asterick have the headstone facing west, but the footstone –when there- is on the east end of the gravesite. Many old headstones were done that way, so families would not have to cross over the gravesites when visiting the cemetery.
