OLD GANSVILLE CEMETERY
Located in the North part of Winn Parish, at the Siloam Church
Copied June 10, 1984

NOTE: Many of these tombstones were badly worn or broken at that time 
or just unreadable.  I have not been back since then and can not
imagine the damage that 14 more years have caused.  Annette
