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.
