Currently located on Caddo Parish Police Jury land. Originally was the 300 acres land succession by his master to former slave Abrom Maiden from North Carolina. He is the co-founder of the Macedonia Baptist Church in 1892, having donated two acres of his land.

The cemetery has been reclaimed by nature. There is only one grave marker, that of his wife Rachel Maiden. Other graves existence are evident by sunken grave impressions about six feet in diameter scattered on the left, and right side of the trail to the grave of Rachel Maiden.

To access the cemetery, drive west on Mike Clark Road from Hwy 789, past the Northwest Louisiana Veterans Cemetery, until you come to a big tree, and gravel road (GPS +32.26434,-93.94117) on the north right side of the road. Enter the road winding right, and stop about fifty feet at Caddo Parish gate.

There are two methods to locate, (1) proceed down the gravel road descending on the other side of the gate, until you locate a marked bicycle path running across the gravel road. Proceed to follow the bicycle path to right until you are reach 310 degrees, and about twenty-five feet from the big oak, and cedar trees with grave marker at it's base. (2) Proceed to trail about fifteen feet past the gate on the right side. Follow the winding trail 67 degrees NE through sunken grave impressions on the left, and right side of the trail. Locate the old barbed wire fence to follow it to the left until you locate grave marker next to large oak, and cedar trees at their base.
