The Goodall Cemetery is located directly behind the former Countrywood Realty building (now Peglar Real Estate Group) at 1327 Highway 62 East in Mountain Home. The small cemetery is enclosed by a chain link fence. For many years it was completely overgrown and neglected, but someone has now cleaned it up and re-set the headstones, some of which were down. According to Roger Talburt, Mr. Bob Durr from Mountain Home is the person who cleaned up this little cemetery and is caring for it. There are at least eight (8) known burials by name in this old cemetery. The burials date from 1854 to 1890 and are from the Goodall, Duty, Foster, Richey, and Talbert families.

cemetery was an abandoned derelict.

A new sign was made and placed on the
fence in February, 2013 by Jail Inmates at
the Baxter County Sheriff's Office.
