This cemetery is located at the historic Smyrna Church on Highway 36, about six miles west of Searcy. Smyrna Cemetery was

originally listed in 1968 by the Smyrna Extension Homemakers Club and published by the White County Historical Society in



its

White County Heritage

1969 issue. The records were updated March 7, 2000, by Tommy Treadway of the White County

Historical Society, who not only added the last 32 years of burials but also corrected some old transcription mistakes or

oversights. Historical Society member Leroy Blair visited the cemetery September 12, 2000, and added nine names and other

information. He updated again in December 2002.

When in 1856 it was decided to organize a Methodist Church the location decided upon was Smyrna, about halfway between Joy

Mountain and Searcy. This was a few miles east of the Union Church of this vicinity. The spot selected was a beautiful one for a

house of worship and there was a spaciousness that allowed for the burial ground also. According to the White County Historical

Society, the three-acre tract was bought from John F. Black and his wife Jane for $15. The Trustees of the new church to whom

the deed was made were Jacob Armstrong, T.B. King, Joseph Fortner and W.C. Pettey. Those who contributed to the organization

of the church and who became charter members were T.B. King Sr., Joe Grammer, William T. Key, James Haney, William C. Pettey,

J. Douglas Armstrong, T.B. Ellis, Tom Key, William T. Dowdy, John Herrington, Albert Gilliam, John J. Peebles, Nelson Black and

William Irwin. It is possible that there were others whose names are not found in the records.

For about a half century it was known as The Smyrna Circuit, there being six other churches served by the same minister. Among

these we find John W. Boswell, R.G. Brittain, George A. Dannelly, James M. Talkington, Z.T. Bennett and John H. Dye.

The church is no longer in use but a burial as recent as 2003 was made here. In 1998 the church building was deeded to the City

of Searcy, and a preservation project started which is still under way. At the time the building was turned over to Searcy, a one-

acre tract south of the church was sold. The preservation of the historic church building will require $33,000 in local funds, with

an additional $67,000 being provided in matching grants. A $5,000 contribution will “buy” one of the church’s unique nine-over-

nine windows and entitle the donor to have an engraved plaque beside the window that acknowledges the gift, listing a name or

organization. For additional information, contact WCHS, P.O. Box 537, Searcy, AR 72145.

Historical Society member Leroy Blair noted in his 2000 report, “The area where the Chism, Albron, Armon, John, H. and Pallie L.

graves are located is not being cleaned like the remainder of the cemetery. It is very overgrown. I would estimate that there are

125 to 150 unmarked graves in this cemetery.”

Most of the cemetery information listed was collected by Leroy “Lee” Blair Former member of the White

County Historical Society Board of Directors. Now working at the White County Historical Society office on

the square in Searcy. WCHS P. O. Box 537 Searcy, Ark. 72145.

If you have any additions or corrections to the burial listing please contact the Historical Society. Phone 501-

278-5010 or Email me at

lblblair74@gmail.com

or wchs1962@gmail.com

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.
