ROGERS FAMILY CEMETERY
or
HARDIN
and ROGERS GRAVES
Located Section 35 Township 17 South
Range 16 West
Union County, Arkansas
Traveling west from El Dorado on Hwy. 82,
go to N. Wyatt Drive (aka Hwy. 335).
Turn right onto Hwy. 335, going northeast.
At Mt. Holly Road, turn right going east back
toward El Dorado.....within a mile the
graves were located off the south side of the road
in a pasture. Today there is a subdivision there. These are approximate directions.
Once you turn onto Mt. Holly Rd, you
should see Tree Line Dr., left on the south side of
Mt. Holly Rd.; then Kansas Ave., left on
the south side, and Agnes Road on the north side of
Mt. Holly Rd.
Located somewhere between Tree Line Drive
& vicinity of Kansas Avenue is the subdivision.
In November 1994, when canvassed by
Violet M. & Ralph G. Weldon, only
two markers remained. This was private
land & the graves were located out
in a pasture beneath a big Oak Tree. Since then, a subdivision has been built and
any
signs of this old family cemetery have
disappeared. One descendant of the
family,
Ramona Harrison of Magnolia, in 2003-04, went
to take pictures and found a subdivision
covering the area. She drove around &
did manage to find a tombstone for Destie Rogers
Hardin, in a flowerbed in the front yard
of one of the houses.
(No info on what became of the tombstone
since then(ca 2003-04 ) or what became
of Elisha Rogers' tombstone. jcsh432@gmail.com

*Note: As of October 2011
HANK ROGERS posted the following info
concerning this cemetery.
“I now have a short video of this cemetery on youtube.
Simply search for Rogers Family Cemetery, El Dorado, AR.”
The Rogers Family Cemetery is located just west of El Dorado, Union Co., AR,
about
1/2 mile south of Highway 82 in what once was a pasture known as
the "Goodwin Place,"
(a bit southeast of the original
Elisha Rogers homestead),
but is now a subdivision called Meadow Hills Estates.
At the time of the subdivision (1997 or so), only one marker was found,
that of Destie Rogers Hardin.
It was surrounded by a flower bed/rock garden when a home was
built behind it.
The family is nice enough to allow visits, but
please respect them by calling ahead.
Please contact me (Hank Rogers) for his phone number.
