Prairie Cemetery 

Prairie Cemetery is an old abandoned cemetery near Prescott. The earlier
records said it was about 1/4 mile from the city limits toward Gurdon
along the railroad tracks.  I have been unable to locate this cemetery,
but I suspect it is near the Wildcat Rd. crossing. According to the
earlier records, there were three marked graves
