KNOWLES CEMETERY

Est.ca 1874

 

Traveling west from Strong, Arkansas on Hwy. 82(going toward El Dorado) > turn right / north onto Sandy Bend Rd.
Cemetery is now in the back corner of a pine tree field. Just before you reach it is a lovely home on the left.
 There is a small sign erected, but I almost missed it looking at the huge pine tree across the road, shown in the photo above.

This is a difficult cemetery to give directions for, so you might wish to stop in the area & ask someone.

From an earlier canvass done January 1991, by Marvene Saunders & various family provided info.
