Direction: From Leesville, take LA Hwy. 28 East toward Alexandria for approximately 12 miles (from Alexandria the distance is 34 miles). At the junction of LA Hwy. 121, turn left (north) for 2.3 miles. At sign "Welcome to the Pentecostal Church at Walnut Hill," turn left (west) again and go .2 miles to the church. Although not affiliated with this church, Walnut Hill Cemetery is located to the immediate right of the Pentecostal church. A hurricane fence surrounds the well-maintained burial ground. Layout of the cemetery is detailed on a sign just inside the front entrance, and burials are listed in alphabetical order for
easy location. Tombstone inscriptions were recorded from the main gate in zigzag rows, as much as possible, from the road to the woods. Older concrete markers that had eroded or were difficult to read were verified by use of the original publication done in 1970's. Information in brackets was not included on the tombstones, and should be verified before used as a clue for further research. All inscriptions and dates were re-recorded by Jane Parker McManus, March 1994 and updated September 1995. Submitted on 11 February 2001.
This cemetery is also known as Walnut Hill UPC Cemetery or Walnut Hill United Pentecostal Church Cemetery.
