This cemetery was first recorded by Leroy Blair of the White County Historical Society in February 2002. Following is his report: "I

was told of this old cemetery by a lady who works in one of the White County offices and lives near the cemetery. It is located off

Goad Road just outside the Bradford city limits. I believe it is in White County, for if you are coming southeast on Highway 87 from

Denmark, about a mile after you pass the ‘Entering White County’ sign, take the first road that goes north. Go about a half mile to

the first crossroad and turn right. The cemetery will be on the left about two-tenths of a mile down this road. This is probably a

very old cemetery. It appears to have been badly overgrown until very recently. It is enclosed by an old wrought iron fence. It is

located in a pasture field in back of an old house trailer which was vacant. There is one large stone with the Albert Mardis family

inscription on it [photo above] and one other engraved stone for Miles Chambliss. There are 14 sets of field rocks with no

information on them."

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.
