Johnson Graves

Range 17W - Township 1S Section 6



Information from:  Gary Lovell, November 1986

Directions and Historical Information:  From Benton, you would take Highway 5 (Old 
Hot Spring Highway) to Colonial Nursing Home at the Garland County Line.  Just past 
the nursing home is a road known as the Antioch Road for it leads to Antioch Cemetery.  
You should travel this road 3 or 4 miles and you will come to a Weyerhauser road that 
leads to Cedar Bluff Hole Road, which leads to the Middle Fork of the Saline River.  
Enroute you will pass the old McVaughn home place, (Ethel Shell was reared there).  
Past it, go to the third gravel road on the right, turn there and it will take you 
to a bluff on the river.  Just before you get to the bluff, the graves are about 100 
to 150 yards off the road to the right by a little road that goes down to the river.  
There are two unmarked graves of some JOHNSONS.  There were funeral home markers on 
the graves until recently, but have since been removed.  Another point of location 
is the graves are near the old Buck Clare place, where just beyond is where Alvin 
Farrell was ambushed by moonshiners.
