Don,

You will find a map attached for the location on Morgan Hill Cemetery in Franklin County, Arkansas. It is just over four mile’s from Ozark traveling south on twenty three turn right on ninety six traveling east and the cemetery is located on the right side of the road. I have been trying to find when this cemetery was established and best to date it may have been around late 1700’s or early 1800. Someone has indicated there is a Civil War head marker in this cemetery, but please don’t hold as a true statement until I get back with you. I will be traveling to this area in June to secure more information. If there is any thing you can add or need from this trip feel free to let me know.

How much information is there on Morgan Hill Cemetery in Franklin County? Do you know if there is a register and/or location for plot numbers? On May 9th Morgan Hill has Decoration Day for family members and this occurs each year on Mothers Day.

A number of family members whom made there homes in and around the South Ozark area from the late 1800 chose this cemetery for interment.

Any information on this cemetery and who to contact will be helpful.

Thank you for you time and consideration,

P. Schroeder
