Mendenhall Cemetery Record

Mendenhall was once a community just inside the Nevada County line from
Ouachita County on Hwy. 278.  Older residents remembered a cemetery
along the highway. I searched the area and could not find any markers.
I stopped at a nearby house (a Mendenhall descendant) and they confirmed
that a baby was buried here, but the grave had to be moved when the
highway was constructed.  They had the monument behind their house lying
under a bush.  The name Mendenhall was not on the stone, but they
assured me it was a Mendenhall.  The old burial spot was about 1/2 mile
west of the county line on the south side of the highway.  There is no
evidence of a cemetery at this time.  The inscription on the stone
reads:

                            George T.   2-5-1896 - 10-12-1898
