Direction: Dillon going toward Little Rock on highway # 9 west.
After 7 or 8 miles and through caution light in Little Rock. Stay on #9 highway
going to Clio for about 3 miles and bear off to left-hand road which is
at Higgins Cross Road. Cemetery is on the left 7/10 of a mile and in the woods.

NOTE:These are the only tombstones that I saw at this African Cemetery.
As I said in the directions, it is definitely in the woods and has been
for quite some time. You have to cross a big drainage canal to get to
the cemetery. Many, many graves sunk in and with no markers to them.
There must be at least thirty(30) or so graves. A man that lives on the
same road as the cemetery said that there was a man buried out there about
ten or fifteen years ago by the name of Wright, but I didn't see a FHM.
