Lee County, Arkansas Cemeteries

 

Possum Trot Cemetery

Rondo, Arkansas

 

 

 

Location: The Possum Trot cemetery is located about one-half mile due north of Rondo.  From the Hwy 243, county road 338 junction, turn down Lee CR 338 and go 3/10 mile.  The cemetery is located there on the south side of the road.

 

A. B. May submitted this listing and a photo on October 18, 2005.  From the size of the cemetery, it is assumed that about half of the graves have either been moved or sunken.  The cemetery ground has somewhat been occasionally maintained.  A list of the deceased is below, from the remaining markers that were readable.  An above-ground tomb marks the northeast corner of the cemetery, in which Jannie and Robert Bridges were buried inside.  This is an African-American cemetery.  Click here to see an overview of the cemetery.

 

 

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.
