These two graves were listed for the first time after they were visited April 25, 2001, by Leroy Blair of the White County Historical

Society. Following are his directions on how to find them: "Take McDoniel Road south from Griffithville about four miles to Cain

3WH0745



Road; actually, McDoniel Road will make a sharp left and become Cain Road. Go about one mile on Cain. The cemetery is on the

left, about 100 yards back in a plowed field. You can see it from the road. You will see a small bunch of brush and weeds in the

open field, and that is where the graves are. There are two graves, and they are marked by two large stumps. I was told that a

large pine tree marked one grave and a large cedar tree marked the other, but they were cut down several years ago because of

the danger they caused for crop duster planes."

Blair said he learned of the graves from a woman who owns land around the cemetery and participates in water aerobics with his

wife Ellen at Harding University. Additional information was provided by residents of the area and Mr. and Mrs. Roger Mulheim of

Kensett, who are related to the Hutchins. Blair did not report seeing any other graves, marked or unmarked. Nearly four years later

– on February 17, 2005 – he returned to this site and found it unchanged.

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
