Aimwell Cemetery

Also known as the Ford-Wright Cemetery

Submitted by Tricia L. Creech -  September 25, 1999
Pictures thanks to the effort of Ms Tommye Price
Located on Hwy 126, Aimwell LA
We have what we call "Cemetery Workings" twice a year, where we clean around the cemetery, add new flowers
and have pot-luck lunch (everyone brings a dish). They are held the first Saturday in May and the last Saturday in
September.


THERE ARE AT LEAST 5 KNOWN UNMARKED GRAVES
