The large Custer-Herron cemetery is located about 4 miles East of Lake Norfork in the Henderson area on U. S. Highway 62 East. The cemetery will be on the right (South) side of the roadway. The cemetery was established when the Custer Cemetery and the Herron Cemetery were relocated during construction of the Norfork Dam in the 1940's, before the Lake Norfork Reservoir filled. Other cemeteries relocated to this location include the Cantrell, Cockrum, Henderson, and Lankford Cemeteries. This is an active, well maintained cemetery.
