The funeral home marker in the foreground is the only visible marker left here.

The cemetery was visited August 8, 2000, by Historical Society member Leroy Blair, who filed the following report: "To get to this

cemetery from Pangburn go east on Highway 124 about three and a half miles to the Ramsey Access Road to the Little Red River.

Go about a quarter-mile to the second road that goes up the hill to a large house. The cemetery is directly on the other side of

Ramsey Access Road from the road that goes to the house. It is about 100 feet back in the woods… The cemetery is in very bad

condition. It has had a fence around it but it has fallen down. There is one grave that is marked by an old funeral home marker that

is not readable. There is one grave marked by two rocks. There appear to be about three or four other graves without any

markings. This cemetery is located near the Coffey Cemetery which is on a hill on the other side of Ramsey Road." Blair said in

May 2004 that a local resident, Louie Yingling, told him that he recalled a "Red" Coffey being buried in this cemetery around 1935.

Leon Van Patten of Searcy said in 2004 that J. Reed Coffey is buried here.

Another Historical Society member, Scott Akridge of Bradford, visited the cemetery in September 2004. He noted that the single

funeral home marker here bears a patent date of December 1927. This means the burial occurred later than 1927 and might fit with

the recollection that Red Coffey was buried here around 1935. Akridge noted that the cemetery is directly east of the driveway to a

home that sits on a knoll east of Coffey Cemetery.

Leroy Blair visited this site again on February 18, 2005, and found evidence of recent logging activity nearby. However, the

cemetery had not been damaged.

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

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