This forgotten cemetery was rediscovered by Leroy Blair of the White County Historical Society in December 2003. "I was told

about this old cemetery by Conway Wilson, who lives near Bald Knob," Blair reports. "He remembered he farmed around it about 60

years ago."

The few tombstones that Blair found dated back to Reconstruction days. All were broken or in poor shape. Blair said the landowner

is agreeable to visitors at the grave sites, but requests that they alert him at his home when they are in the area.

To reach the cemetery from Bald Knob, go south on Highway 367. "About a mile south of town, you will cross a small bridge,"

according to Blair. "Just after you cross the bridge, you will see a rock house on the left. About 300 feet south of this house is a

dirt road that goes back to an old rock quarry. There is one house at the end of the road. The owner of the land where the graves

are located lives in this house. The graves are on the left of the road at a curve just before you get to the house. It is overgrown.

There is a large hole in the ground between two rocks. The landowner said that a grave was moved about 15 years ago. He did not

know who it was or where it was moved."

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
