On private property.
Must obtain permission from property owner.
William W. Lesseur came to Union County, AR from Georgia
in the
1840’s. He settled
in an area that became the western part of
the city of El Dorado.
He patented land there in 1848 & 1859. He
was buried on his farm when he died. The family sold the land
in 1889 to J. P. Hammond and told him of the
cemetery. According
to family info Mr. Hammond respected the cemetery’s
boundaries
& never plowed or planted on the ground. There are 5
graves
located on a hill west of the Lesseur (later Hammond)
home/farm. The identity of who these other people were, is
not
known. William
Lesseur is the only one known to be buried there.
Lesseur was a slave owner, so some may even be slave
graves.
Over the years the “Lesseur” families used a variety of
spellings
of their surname.
This is just one sample. To find the site, taking the
Mount Holly Road west in El Dorado past its intersection
with
Timberlane. Turn right onto Forrest Lane and follow this
road for
about a quarter mile to its intersection with Cadden Springs
Road and Forest Lane.
If you look to the northwest, you will
see a small hill rising. The cemetery is located near the
crest
of that hill. By 2001 the hill was covered with trees.
