Plant Cemetery is located northwest of Russell. Take Highway 367 North from Russell to Plant Road. Turn left and immediately on

the left is a small dirt road. Take this road for one-quarter mile to a red brick home which is owned by Vernon Moore. Turn right up

what appears to be an old logging road and go up the hill about one-quarter mile. You might have to walk. The cemetery, which is



overgrown, is on the left. It was fenced with barbed wire and no gate when it was visited December 7, 2000, by Leroy Blair of the

White County Historical Society.

Blair updated cemetery records prepared a few years earlier by Allene and Bill Plant. He found several headstones broken. A

monument approximately six feet tall in the center of the cemetery contains the following names: P.E. Plant, J.W. Plant, T.E. Plant,

S.E. Westmoreland, S.W. Meacham, Bettie Plant, G.C. Plant, W.M. Plant, H. Plant, J.T. Plant, T.F. Plant, L.F. Wood, J.M. Plant, N.E.

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
