Saline County Cemeteries Section V by Mrs. W. Bernard Barber Chairman for Cataloging Cemeteries A Saline County Sesquicentennial Project Regent Provincia de La Sal Chapter National Society Daughters of the American Revolution 1974 - 1978 and 1894 - 1986 The Saline County Coordinator for Rootsweb would like to thank Mrs. Barber for giving permission to post this cemetery on the Saline County Genealogy Page.
Information from: Centennial Edition of the "Benton Courier", and Mrs. Loyce Edgin, who cataloged the cemetery in 1975. She said, "The Hughes Cemetery is one of the oldest cemeteries in Saline County. It was given to the County by the Hughes family. Several years ago the cemetery was filled with only a few burial places available". Mrs. Edgin added. "Most of the people who are buried there have few if any family remaining. The cemetery is poorly kept, most of the graves are unmarked and because of the condition of the cemetery, it is very difficult to know who is buried where." Directions from the Saline County Court House: Take Market Street to Woodlawn, turn right, cross the railroad tracks and turn back to the right. The cemetery is located on the old Hughes farm, two (2) miles Southwest of the Court House. The oldest marked grave is presently that of Lucinda N. Moore, who died, February 9, 1872. The graves of Green B. Hughes, his wife, and Sam Steele and his wife who had large impressive tombstones, are no longer marked. Apparently the stones were stolen for use some place else.
