Est. ca 1873
This cemetery is located in the woods, not too far
from
the Old Champagnolle Cemetery, southeast of Calion,
Arkansas.
From a canvass done by Rachel & Henry
McKinney, February 14, 1960.
(I was told in October 2002, that this cemetery had
been badly vandalized
& most of the headstones were broken or
overturned. Posted April 20, 2004:

* I visited this cemetery one time around 2002; All the tombstones,
except one were laying on the ground, most with the inscription facing
downward. It was in the fall,
so most were covered up by leaves. At
that time the little cemetery had a fair amount of vines growing in
&
around the cemetery area. You could see the remains of what had been,
at one time, a fenced enclosure around the cemetery.
There were many young sapling trees growing all around.
About a year later, I did hear from a descendant of the Langford
family,
David Meinert, 5302 Creekbend, Houston, TX 77096.
James Riley Langford was his Gr Gr Gr grandfather.
Mr. Meinert had gone to the cemetery and did extensive clean up. In
2005, I heard from someone who was related to E.R. Hoffman who
is buried there, This person emailed me, but gave no name, just an
email address, which is probably outdated by now.
This little cemetery sits on private property,down a dirt road,
from a larger more established old cemetery, Champagnolle
Cemetery {aka Castleberry- Champagnolle Cemetery}
