According to Cloie Presley of the White County Historical Society whose husband Leister was raised at Clay, probably the first

cemetery at Clay was just south of the Baptist Church. "Some of the Caruthers family were buried there," she wrote in the White

County Heritage. "Several years ago the stones were removed and used to build a storm cellar and no sign of the graves remain.

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

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