Bill Leach of Turlock, California listed Liberty Cemetery in the summer of 1968. Bill who later returned to Arkansas served as

president of the White County Historical Society. His list was published in the 1969 edition of White County Heritage, published by

the Historical Society. He reported seeing 66 unmarked graves.

Mr. Blair's first visit to the cemetery was October 19, 2000. To get to this cemetery from Walker, go north on Highway 11 about one

mile. Turn right on Liberty Lane and go about one-quarter mile. The cemetery is on the right.”

Blair visited the cemetery on January 8, 2007, and found it still in bad need of cleaning. Also, vandals had overturned several

stones. He rearranged the list alphabetically, with row numbers in parenthesis, and added a list of military veterans who are buried

here. James and Reba Holt, who live nearby, cleaned up the cemetery in the summer of 2008, but because of health problems were

unable to continue the work. Cleanup volunteer and/or donations are needed to maintain this old graveyard. The headstones also

still need to be repaired.

the square in Searcy. WCHS P. O. Box 537 Searcy, Ark. 72145.

or wchs1962@gmail.com

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.
