The sign on this cemetery reads "Cheek Cemetery". It is located at Vinity, Arkansas, and has been listed separately at

times as "Vinity Cemetery." A list for "Vinity Cemetery" was prepared in 1963 by Buford Maddox of the White County

Historical Society and published in its annual history, White County Heritage, that year. Another list was compiled in

1990 by Willie Mae Smith of Vinity and published in White County Heritage that year, then updated June 28, 2000, and

prepared for the Internet by Kara Spence of the Historical Society.

When Leroy Blair of the Historical Society visited the cemetery January 5, 2001, and prepared an update, the Maddox

and Smith files were combined as one listing, "Cheek/Vinity Cemetery", and this history added. Blair added 39 graves

plus other information to the list. He was unable to find these graves, which had previously been listed: Mary E. Banes,

Albert Dreu, F.M. Gibbons, Roy S. Bailey, Lillie J. Rogers and William B. Rogers.

He provided the following directions to reach the cemetery: "From Garner, take North Vinity Road south for

approximately four and a half miles. It will intersect with Vinity Road West. The cemetery is located just south of this

intersection at the end of North Vinity Road. There is a sign on West Vinity Road that says Cheek Cemetery."

Blair found the cemetery clean and well maintained. He found several stones that had been broken and reset in a

cement slab flat on the ground.

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.
