Lee County, Arkansas Cemeteries

Hawkins Chapel Cemetery

Moro, Arkansas

Location: Take Hwy 79 west to Lee Road 119; go south on 119 to Lee Road 108; the cemetery is about a mile down on the right.

This cemetery had a lot of broken and missing stones. It is located at the edge of a field and appeared to have been bush-hogged recently.

Jane Hartley and I transcribed this cemetery on September 11, 2005. My brother, Darrel, assisted. Here are some random photos of the cemetery: #1, #2, #3, #4, and #5. You can also click on the names below to view photos of the stones. Wanda Ridge sent some additions from the 1976 Arkansas Family Historian and from her personal files on June 26, 2006.

If you know of anyone else buried here, and would like to add their name, please contact me. I can also create a link for you to any of these names if you find someone that belongs to your family. The information presented is as correct as possible, however you may want to verify its accurateness.
