AR GenWeb Project - Garland County

Rockdale Cemetery

Submitted by Patti Vance Hays
Travel Directions: From Hot Springs, AR Take Highway 5 East. Go about 100 yards past where Highway 7 veers off Highway 5. You will stay on Highway 5. Turn left (sign that says Rockdale Baptist Church). Then turn left on a dirt road past an off-yellow siding house and before the church.
There may be a cable over the road. Inez Cline and Bobby Jones McLane published a book called Garland County Arkansas Tombstone Inscriptions.
They may have some listed that I did not find as there were numerous graves that were unmarked and some with funeral home markers that were no longer legible.
Many of these unmarked graves had newly-placed flowers. If you have questions, please contact me at Pvhwdh@cablelynx.com
