This cemetery is located in southeast Searcy, just off East Lincoln Avenue. All persons buried here are related by birth or by

marriage. Originally listed August 18, 1964, by Mrs. Lloyd Henry of the White County Historical Society, it was Revised-by the

Society after a representative visited the "peaceful little cemetery" in March, 1999. When Historical Society member Leroy Blair

visited the cemetery December 5, 2000, he added eight names and other information to the list. He found one grave marked with a

rock and two depressions that appeared to be unmarked graves. He was unable to find the grave of John V. Owen, which is on the

original list. Blair reported the cemetery "is very clean and well cared for and fenced in with a rock wall with iron gates."I visited

the cemetery again on June 2, 2015 I did not see any changes since my last visit.

I will be posting more burials later. The Searcy Daily Citizen donated all their Micro Film and Ledgers dating

back to 1953. After reviewing them, if I find a death of a person that we do not have I will to add to the

cemetery listings.

There are some graves listed as unmarked that may have had a tombstone set since the listing was made.

I may have missed some graves when I prepared the listing. Some cemeteries are very hard to get an

accurate listing due to how some graves are scattered

The following Abbreviations are used in the listings

.

FM-Funeral home marker DS-Double tombstone TS-Triple tombstone

(Obit)-means that the Historical Society has, or has access to the Obituary for this person.
