Lee County, Arkansas Cemeteries

Thompson Cemetery

Turkey Scratch, Arkansas

Location: This cemetery is located on Lee Road 177. Traveling from Aubrey on Hwy 78, the state maintained pavement ends at the intersection of 132 & 173. Bear left onto 173. Go 2 miles and turn east on 146. Drive another 2 miles and turn north on 177. 177 curves back around west for about a mile and the cemetery is located in a curve south of 177. (You can also get to 177 directly from 173, however it is a dirt farm road and you may not be able to get down it.)

I transcribed this cemetery on November 19, 2005 with the help of Cricket, Randi, & Hannah. The cemetery is still in use today. It is about 1 mile from the Spring Lake Cemetery. There were numerous visible graves without markers.

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.

** No Marker – information was submitted by person noted
