To reach Moon Family Cemetery, take Highway 36 west from Rose Bud to Highway 124. Turn right on Highway 124. The cemetery is approximately one-quarter mile on the left. A chain link fence surrounds the cemetery.
This cemetery was first listed for the White County Historical Society by Cloie Presley of Searcy on July 10, 1962. Mrs. Presley recorded that W.H. Moon, a grandson of Dr. W. B. Moon, told her that the Moon family came from Alabama in the late 1860s and bought a homestead west of Rose Bud. The house was directly across the present road from the cemetery. Dr. Moon later purchased a large tract of land in Cadron Bottoms.
Mrs. Beatrice Carter gave Mrs. Presley and her husband Leister a map and a list of names of persons buried here. She told them that there are nine unmarked graves and they are members of the families of Henry Ware, Dave Copeland, Billy Powell, A.L. McKay, Dr. W.B. Moon Jr., George Layne, Sam Pearson and the Walters. The Walters were good friends of the Moon family but they were not related. All others buried in the cemetery are members of the Moon family.
The cemetery was updated January 8, 2001, and again in late 2002 by Leroy Blair of the White County Historical Society. He reported the cemetery is clean and nicely maintained. He visited the cemetery again on January 4, 2005, and found four bottoms of tombstones. The top parts containing information were not found.
