King Cemetery

Northside, Arkansas

This area of Prairie County was once a part of White County and is served today by the Griffithville mail route, so addresses in this area are Griffithville. But the community and township today are referred to as Northside. The cemetery was visited August 14, 2002, by White County Historical Society member Leroy Blair, who prepared the following report: "Take highway 11 south from the White/Prairie County line to Holloway’s Store on the left of the highway. They keep a key to a gate that crosses the road to the cemetery. After you pick up the key, go south to the next road that turns left, and follow it about 2 ˝ miles to where the road makes a sharp right turn. At this point, you will find a gate that is painted silver. The key from the store unlocks the lock on this gate. After you go through the gate, go about one mile. The cemetery is on the left of the road. It is fenced and well cared for. It covers about two acres. The graves are scattered over the whole area. Most of the stones that are there appear to be fairly new, with only a little information on some of them."

Blair copied the following list from the tombstones that he saw.
