Point of contact for cemetery. No known contact personThis cemetery was listed for the White County Historical Society for the

first time by Leroy Blair after he visited it January 8, 2003.

It is located in Independence County north of Hickory Flat, just over



the county line.

He recorded the cemetery after visiting nearby Mason Cemetery for the first time. To reach Pierce Cemetery,

follow Blair’s directions to Mason

Cemetery then continue past Mason about a quarter-mile to a low-water bridge that crosses Big Creek. The cemetery is on the

right. Blair found it to be “very clean.” There are 40 graves marked with field rocks with no information on them. A resident of

the area, “Mr. Allgood,” told Blair most of those graves are Pierces.

Blair provided the following directions to Mason Cemetery: “Take Hickory Flat Road north to Thomas Road and turn right; go to

Armstrong Road then turn left (north). Armstrong Road will lead into Independence County. The road to the cemetery, I believe, is

the first road that turns left after you cross the county line. The cemetery is located in back of a pump station. (There are so

many small roads in that part of Independence County it is hard to give directions – would be best to ask some one who lives there

how to get to the cemetery.)”

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
