Located in the southwest corner of Beauregard Parish on Smith Cemetery Road.
This cemetery is about 200 feet square and surrounded by piney woods. There
are a lot of huge cedar trees, one big magnolia, red bud trees, azaleas, gardenia
bushes, and roses. There is a comfortable bench, an expanse of green grass,
and cool shade from the trees to offset the extreme heat and glare from the
lovely white-painted vaults. On a hot sunshiney day, those vaults can be deadly
hot. But they would sure help warm you on a cold winter day if the sun is out.
On the gate is the following sign in 1992:
Smith Cemetery Association
J.A.WILLIAMS..................743-6422
K.E.SMITH.....................743-6550
O.C.ANDERSON..................743-5455
This is one of the prettiest cemeteries in Beauregard Parish!
