How You Can Save Your Ancestors Grave From Becoming Another "Unmarked" Grave

Tip for Photographing Old Tombstones in the shade.

Click Here for the ULTIMATE way to preserve your ancestors old crumbling marker.

This seems to be the most commonly accepted way by professionals to clean algae from tombstones -
Lichens and algae can be removed by first thoroughly soaking the stone and then using a wooden
scraper to gently remove the biological growth. This process may need to be repeated several times.
Wooden picks, such as toothpicks or shish kabob skewers are also useful. NO Bleach or Metal Scrapers.

DID YOU KNOW
the Civil War markers for the Confederates are more pointed at the top than the Union markers.....

Gardner Cemetery

Newspaperman, W. J. Weaver identifies the first graveyard in Fort Smith as being "on a grassy knoll, on the bank of the Poteau, close to the present iron foundry."

In an article entitled, "Reminiscent," appearing in The Elevator, 18 December 1896, Weaver recalls that, "In 1840 there were three marble slabs standind (sic)." He mentioned that one was the grave of a surgeon and two were lieutenants. [Fort Smith Original Military Cemetery]

This site is believed to be the same burial ground referred to by Mr. Kannady, as being established, when he arrived in 1836, and was also referred to as the Gardner Cemetery.

In the 1880s Dr. H. T. Main sold this tract of land with the burial ground, and it is reported the new landowner rolled the tombstones off of the bluff into the Poteau River, and tilled the soil.

Phillips Cemetery

Driving on Highway 10 and going east from Greenwood, Arkansas, toward Booneville, Arkansas, and just before you reach the Logan County line, there is a farmhouse on the right that sits back from the highway approx. 200 feet.
The driveway does not go directly to the house, but had a "bend" or two and was slightly uphill, probably 10 to 15 feet rise, but not much of a hill. The old Phillips Cemetery is back behind the farmhouse in the woods. The road had a gate that you had to go through. It is not known the name of the previous or present-day owner. It was never a problem having access to the cemetery. There are some Phillips and Clymas buried there. (Directions provided by Ken Oliver)
