This cemetery is located a half-mile south of Bradford and west of Highway 67 in Section 7, Township 9 North, Range 4 West. It

was first listed in May 1968 by the Bradford Homemaker’s Extension Club, then published by the White County Historical Society in

its 1969 edition of

White County Heritage

.

The cemetery was visited January 3, 2001, by Leroy Blair of the White County Historical Society who found it "badly overgrown and

damaged by vandals." The cemetery had not been used in the 32 years since the first listing, but Blair did find a broken stone of a



previously unlisted Riley infant boy who died August 21, 1904. He also found five graved marked by rocks, some 20 depressions

that were probably unmarked graves and one grave marked with a funeral home marker so old it was no longer legible. He was

unable to find the graves of Madoliene Monroe or Maggie Stout, which were on the 1968 list. In August 2003, Laveda Steed of the

historical society added the names of six people who are buried here in unmarked graves.

Blair provided the following directions for reaching Robb Cemetery: "To get to this cemetery from Bradford, take Highway 367

south to Fox Meadow Road about one-quarter mile from the Highway 87-367 intersection in Bradford. Turn right on Fox Meadow

and go about 100 yards to the first road that turns left. Turn onto it and go about 50 yards to a metal gate. After you go through the

gate you will see a pasture field that is on the right side of the road. Go about 100 yards down this road. The cemetery is in the

woods at the end of the pasture field. There are a lot of stones damaged by vandals."

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.
