Garner Cemetery

Garner, Arkansas

Garner lies between McRae and Searcy on Hwy 367. At Garner go to mid town, turn left across the railroad tracks, turn right (south) and proceed along the east side of the railroad tracks for about half a mile to the cemetery. The cemetery was surveyed in 1975 by Cloie and Leister Presley of the White County Historical Society, who listed 75 names and reported seeing "many unmarked graves." An update was prepared in March 2000 by Society member Tommy H. Treadway, then again October 16, 2000, and in late 2002 by Leroy Blair, another Society member. Additions based on newspaper obituaries have also been made by Zelda Dawson of the Historical Society.

All of the names from the Presley survey are listed below, however Treadway and Blair were unable to find several of these graves. Blair reported, "There are 95 sets of cement blocks about one foot high, painted white. I first thought they were plot markers but upon a closer look I believe they are graves that were not marked with stones. I found several mounds or depressions between them. At least one has a very plain outline of a grave."
