Smith Cemetery, Rapides Parish Louisiana Submitted by Jane Parker McManus ********************************************** Copyright. All rights reserved. http://usgwarchives.net/copyright.htm http://usgwarchives.net/la/lafiles.htm ********************************************** Go South on LA Hwy. 121 between Gardner and Hineston, and turn right onto LA Hwy. 465. Continue for 5 miles to the town of Seiper and turn left onto Price Road. At the first "Y" in the road, bear to the right; at the second "Y" in the road, bear to the right again for a total of about 4.5 miles. Turn right at Price Crossing Road. (Note: Price Road butts into Price Crossing Road where the traveler must turn right or left. Even if the sign is missing, the correct turn is right.) The roads are dirt and gravel. Cemetery is on the left about .2 miles up this road. It is fenced, well kept, and about an acre in size. Only one unmarked burial was found in this cemetery. Tombstone inscriptions were recorded from front to back on the right side by Mary Parker Partain, June 1992, and submitted by Jane P. McManus, April 2, 2001. All genealogical notes in brackets should be verified or used as a clue for further research or verification.] Row 1: Terrell, Rev. Newton [I.]- 5 Sep 1862 / 13 Feb 1951 Grandpa [s/o William S.
