Leroy Blair listed this cemetery for the White County Historical Society on February 18, 2002. It is located in a field

about 100 yards behind the Baptist Church at Denmark. Blair found it fenced and "well cared for." Although this site is

located in Jackson County, the Society prepared this inventory because many White County residents are buried here.

Blair, chairman of the Society’s cemetery committee, returned to this site on December 31, 2004, and rechecked the

names and dates on tombstones, updating and adjusting the list below.

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.
