A very pretty cemetery! Towards the back are three huge cedar trees. In the

center, almost as though highlighted, are three more cedars that give the

impression of bonsai. Other shrubs have been planted, and the whole cemetery

is covered over with carpet or centipede grass. We would like to congratulate

the groundskeepers for a job well done. Babe Clark is surrounded on three

sides by pine forest, and a grassed parking area is on the west side as you

turn off Gene Nelson Road, which is graveled. The best way to reach this

lovely little cemetery is to turn east from LA 109 onto Smith Road and follow

it to the left curve in the road. Then, just a bit farther on, you will find

Babe Clark Cemetery on the right or east side of the road. [Most of the

funeral home markers in this cemetery are from the Claybar Funeral Home in

Orange, Texas.]
