Burks Cemetery List and Photos
Merryville
Listing Compiled by Roberta B. Doty and Evelyn E. Cole August 22, 1992
Annotations by La Vaughn H. "LV" Hayes are preceded by LVH Burks Cemetery is located south of Merryville. Traveling south on LA 389, you will find a sign on the right side of the road leading you to Burks---a small cemetery on top of a knoll surrounded by piney woods. When you turn off LA 389, go 4/10 of a mile and turn right at the first side road; then, it is only 1/10 of a mile to the cemetery.
There is evidence of "lost" graves, and some of the tombstones are very difficult to read. Just outside the gate, a large oak tree has succumbed to age or disease---the stump shows it to have been a giant. All in all, this is a lonely, picturesque little cemetery.
