CENTRE POINT CEMETERY
1866 – 1996
UNION COUNTY,
ARKANSAS
This cemetery is
located northeast of Hwy. 82 West, on
state Hwy.
335, on a curve next
to a house. It appears the cemetery has been
cleaned and considerable work done on it to make it accessible. It
covers probably about
an acre wooded lot. I am sure there are
many more graves than
the ones identified below with
headstones.
I surveyed this
cemetery the first time on November 17, 2002.

*Wf/of Wyatt H. Wood(1840-1902)Wyatt is buried at Wyatt-Parnell Cemetery
*Buried in the
fenced enclosure with Mary H. & E.
E. Mooty
*May 24, 2005: A new homemade marker has been added at the
very back edge of the cemetery, just past the McGee graves; it
is made out of metal with the name, HAYES, in script, welded on
top & the whole thing painted in silver. Stands about 5 inches
tall on legs on either end. Not found in April 2012.
*Just outside the fenced in plot for the Mooty's &
Elizabeth R. Wood
is an unusual heavy metal piece solidly stuck in the
ground..
My guess is that it is cast iron – maybe a lever of some
sort.
I have seen this before on earlier visits, and believe it
marks a grave.

*I had a copy of an old
survey made March 11, 1960 by Rachel McKinney,
which helped to some degree
with tombstones that have since disappeared
or became illegible.
There many un-marked graves,
which have disappeared with time.
Last burial was in
1973. Then in 2008 James Walter Gordy was
buried here.
He and his wife (still
living) share a new double headstone.)
The oldest marked burial, that still exists, appears to be for Marshal Mooty in 1866.
