Location: Going East from Downtown Benton, the Cemetery is located on the East side of the 1900 Block of Military Road. Cataloged by: Mr. And Mrs. Crawford T. Marbury, Nancy Marbury, and James Michael Marbury, July 1975. The oldest marked grave is that of Anne Mabin Pack, wife of Thomas Pack, 1938. Historical Information: From the Centennial Edition of the "Benton Courier", the land was first occupied by Spring Creek Baptist Church, which was the first name of the First Baptist Church. A stranger, moving from the East to Texas, about 1840, was kicked by a mule and killed. His family buried him beside the church and continued on their journey to Texas. NOTE: There are a few names to click on to view pictures of their gravestone.
