This cemetery was listed August 6, 2001, by Leroy Blair of the White County Historical Society who filed the following report: “I

have known of this old cemetery for several years. It is located on Highway 337 about two miles southeast of the intersection of

Highway 5/25 Bypass and Highway 337. It is on the right of the highway in a small clearing. It is fenced. When I prepared this

listing, the cemetery had been recently mowed, probablywith a bush hog, but was not cleaned around the graves. I found 11 old

funeral home markers that are unreadable and 37 graves marked with rockwith no information on them. There are probably 50 or

more depressions in line with other graves that I believe are unmarked graves.”

The Steward/Stewart listings were added in February 2004 by Society member Scott Akridge, who reported they “were all in one

small area of the cemetery.”

Most of the cemetery information listed was collected by Leroy “Lee” Blair Former member of the White

County Historical Society Board of Directors. Now working at the White County Historical Society office on

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

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.
