Lee County, Arkansas Cemeteries

 

Sanford Cemetery

Moro, Arkansas

 

 

 

Location: The Sanford Cemetery is located on the South side of Hwy 78 between Wheatley and Moro.  It is right across from Lee Road 929.

 

I transcribed this cemetery and took photos of each grave stone on November 9, 2008 with the help of Andrew Roberts, Ellen Mankin, and Cricket & Robert Webb.  Here is a photo of the area where the cemetery is located right off of the highway. The cemetery has been abandoned for quite some time. The earliest burial we found was in 1841 and the last burial was in 1981.

 

Wanda Ridge and Martha Hamilton also recorded this cemetery on March 28, 1985. Only one of the names below was not on their original list.

 

 

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. 

 

* Information taken from various cemetery books

** No Marker – information was submitted by person noted

 

Please support the preservation of these records and cemeteries.

Thank you.
