Old William Boothe Cemetery

The Ellis & Jincy Boothe Family cemetery is one of three Boothe cemeteries in Catahoula Parish. The other two are William Boothe aka Old Joe Boothe (meaning Joseph C Boothe), and Joe Boothe (meaning Joseph Daniel Boothe). The Ellis & Jincy Boothe Cemetery is fenced and kept in good condition near the old home place of Joseph Ellis & Jincy (Hart) Boothe near Rawson Creek between Harrisonburg and Enterprise, LA. You will need someone to direct you to this cemetery in the hills. There are no road numbers or signs.
