Alston Cemetery
Turn south on Pilgrim Rest Road from LA 12, which is about half way between DeQuincy and Ragley. After 2 1/2 miles, Pilgrim Rest Road will become gravel, but you continue on straight till it makes a sharp right turn---less than 1/2 of a mile farther. The road will make a sharp left---the cemetery will be 1/2 mile more...a total of about 5 miles. There is a woods type road all around Alston; the main gate is on the north end, but a secondary gate is on the south.
