Being a lifelong resident of Baxter County, my interest in these cemeteries is from a historical and preservation perspective. Through this site, I hope to share my photos and information with others having the same interest. All photos are mine unless otherwise noted.Jeffhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00283953477632255496noreply@blogger.comBlogger92125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1352093397666635876.post-51483961472992805922012-11-06T14:26:00.000-08:002012-11-06T14:54:36.356-08:00Gaither Cemetery located in wood line on Berrybrook Ln. The Gaither Cemetery is found on private property in Southern Baxter County. Take Push Mountain Road to the South from Norfork for about 15 miles to the intersection of Baxter CR 73 (Culp Road). Turn left on Culp Road and go about 6 miles to the intersection of Baxter CR 128. Turn left on Baxter CR 128 and go about 1 to 1.5 miles to Berrybrook Ln. on the left. This is a private drive with a red street sign. Follow Berrybrook Ln. about 2/10th mile to the gate. After passing through the gate, look for the second recognizable pull off area on the right. From here, you can look through the wood line and see the small cemetery.<br />

The small Gaither Cemetery as it appeared<br />
in early November, 2012.<br />
<div align="center">
</div>
<br />
The tiny Gaither Cemetery is enclosed by a wire fence. There is no sign. There is one tall upright gravestone that is for G. B. Gaither (11-24-1834 to 06-11-1904). He is the father of Jane Hamby Gaither. The stone is worn and eroded. Outside of the fence at the base of a large tree a short distance away is a memorial stone for David Wayne Woods (1955 - 2004). Information indicates that Mr. Woods desired to be buried in the Gaither Cemetery but that his wish was not permitted because this cemetery was not properly "registered" as an existing cemetery. The family placed a marker here anyway in his memory. <br />

His appears to be the only grave in the small cemetery. His grave is marked with a large commercial gravestone that includes his dates of birth and death, as well as a photograph. Eric Gaston was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Jim Gaston, owners of the property.<br />

<br />
To access the cemetery, drive past the Gaston's Resort Restaurant all the way to the end of the long row of cabins. The nature trail begins here. Follow the trail to the right. As soon as the trail makes a bend to the right, you will see the cemetery. The gravesite overlooks the White River.<br />

I want to welcome you to my website blog where you will find photographs and information about the many cemeteries that are found in Baxter County, Arkansas. There more than 80 cemeteries located within the geographical boundaries of Baxter County, Arkansas. Many are active, well maintained cemeteries that receive regular care and maintenance. However, many others have not been used in several decades and, while they may occasionally be cleaned up by surviving family or perhaps attended to on the occasional organized cemetery work day, they are not regularly mowed or looked after. Many others are very old, abandoned cemeteries that sadly were completely neglected and uncared for, at least until they were cleaned up by the Baxter County Jail Inmates work program starting in November, 2010 under my personal direction. A few have practically been swallowed up and reclaimed by nature, their whereabouts known only to a very few people, while still others have already vanished completely because their exact locations are no longer known to anyone still living.<br />
<br />
When I first began researching cemeteries in Baxter County, I was frustrated to find that, although there was a fair amount of information available from various sources, there was not one, single comprehensive source covering all cemeteries known to exist or have existed in Baxter County. All sources were lacking facts or information available in other sources, or in some cases the information found in one source conflicted with information found in a different source. It was only after visiting most of these cemeteries myself over the course of several years, making my own notes and observations and then comparing them with other reference materials, that I felt confident in compiling a comprehensive list myself. My interest in these cemeteries is primarily historical in nature and not genealogical. Therefore, I have not focused on the names, dates, and family histories of those buried there; rather my focus is on locating the cemetery, accurately describing it, articulating directions to find the cemetery, and noting any overall history that I have read about or become aware of. <br />
<br />
Sources for this compilation, in addition to my own personal notes and observations made while visiting these various cemeteries, include: 1) “The History of Baxter County” by Baxter County Historian Mary Ann Messick; 2) “Of Grave Importance - The Cemeteries of Baxter County, Arkansas" by the Baxter County Historical Society; 3) The Arkansas Gravestones Project Website; 4) Ancrestry.com (Baxter County Cemeteries Page); and 5) Personal knowledge and observations of other persons I have spoken to. My comprehensive cemetery list, which can be found on a separate page/entry, is added to, modified, and updated as new information becomes available or older information is corrected and updated. All photographs were taken by me unless otherwise specifically noted.<br />
<br />
I welcome comments, feedback, and new, updated, or corrected information on our local cemeteries from anyone.Jeffhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00283953477632255496noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1352093397666635876.post-34970157776154804592012-09-10T15:51:00.001-07:002012-11-06T14:55:46.122-08:00Complete Cemetery Listing alphabetically and by category<div style="text-align: left;">

<b>W. W. Adams Cemetery:</b> It has been reported that somewhere on Baxter CR 262 off Hwy 201 South that there is a large flat limestone rock with the engraved names of “W. W. Adams and Wife of W. W. Adams” that covers their gravesites. It is said to be adjacent to an old smoke house, which may no longer be standing. I have looked for it, but have not found it.</div>

<b>Adams Church Cemetery: </b>Said to have been inventoried by the Extension Homemaker’s Clubs in 1968, but no location or any other additional information was recorded (source the Baxter Bulletin article circa 2002). Information from the Baxter County Cemetery Book on the Old Trevina Cemetery indicates that there was once a church at that location called the “Adams Church”. It is possible, but unconfirmed, that the Adams Church Cemetery and the Old Trevina Cemetery are one and the same.</div>

<b>Collis Family Cemetery: </b>On the “Find A Grave” website, there is mention of a Collis Family Cemetery, located 5 miles West of Mountain Home, where a person by the name of William Crane is buried. There is no other information or details provided.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Federal Army Cemetery:</b> Mary Ann Messick states in her Baxter County History Book, circa 1973, that this cemetery is the resting place of some 14 union troops who were killed in a surprise skirmish in the autumn of 1864 and buried where they fell. She says the cemetery is located on the farm of Rex and Levi Reed between State Highway 126 and the Prairie Road, and that at one point in time it was surrounded by a low rock wall. Research indicates that the current Tucker Cemetery Road (Baxter CR 6) was also called “Prairie Road” at some point in the past. No other specific location information has ever been provided or located in other sources. This cemetery is mentioned in the Baxter Bulletin cemetery article circa 2002, (which I believe was just a re-print from a much earlier issue), but that information was taken from Ms. Messick’s book. Several persons residing in the general area have been asked about this cemetery but have been unfamiliar with it. <strong><u>Note:</u></strong> In August, 2011 I was told that the cemetery might be on the property now owned by Mr. Eugene Reed. I spoke with Mr. Reed in person. He told me that his family has always known that this cemetery is located on their property but they do not know its exact whereabouts. He told me there are portions of low rock walls on more than one area of his property, and he has also found large rocks that appear to be marking corners of a particular area. The Reeds also have an interest in someday being able to pinpoint the exact location. The property lies in the SW 1/4 of Section 11 and NW 1/4 of Section 14, Township 19N, Range 14W.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Note: 04/01/2012. I visited the site of the probable location of the Federal Army Cemetery with Mr. Eugene Reed. He took me to an area where once a low rock wall making an enclosure in a more or less rectangular form had been. He stated this was the place that Ms. Messick visited with his grandfather in 1968 when she was researching her book. This site and surrounding area became grown up with brush and briars and have now been bull dozed and cleared. There is nothing remaining except for two large tress that marked the general boundaries of one side of the cemetery location. Mr. Reed indicated the low rock wall ran between these two trees, then several yards out in front of the trees on each side, then back together again to form the low rock wall that was once there.</div>

<b>Green Mountain Cemetery: </b>Said to be off McGowan Road (CR 74) at the base of the mountain in Southern Baxter County. Stalagmites are said to mark some of the graves. No other information is known. This is from personal accounts. This cemetery is not mentioned in any source or reference material.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b></b><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Henderson Cemetery:</b>There is mention of an Old Henderson Cemetery on at least one of the genealogical web sites. It is said to be “just outside of Mountain Home” and that about 5 gravesites are visible, marked only with field stones. It is said to be a family cemetery. No additional location information or specific directions are provided. This cemetery is not mentioned in the Baxter County Cemetery Book, nor in the Baxter Bulletin cemetery article or map. No other information has been found for it.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Old Conelly Cemetery:</b>This old cemetery is said to be downstream from the Norfork Dam on Corp Project Land. It was supposedly inventoried in 1979 by Corp Park Ranger Ron Bata. At that time, it contained one marked stone with a name and dates, plus several gravesites marked only with upright field stones. Even in 1979, the cemetery was said to be covered in downed limbs and thick with undergrowth. It is mentioned in the Baxter County Cemetery book circa 1993. The grave of Fannie Ward and at least one infant was said to be located near this cemetery, on the opposite side of the county road leading to Gene’s Trout Dock. The Fannie Ward gravesite has been located and identified (see <strong>Ward Family</strong> <strong>Cemetery</strong>), however a walking tour on the opposite side of the county road failed to uncover any evidence of the Old Conelly Cemetery. The Army Corp of Engineers has thus far been unable to provide any additional useful information. In the Baxter Bulletin cemetery article circa 2002, there is one brief sentence indicating that the Old Conelly Cemetery and the Old Sales Cemetery (also in the same area) may be one and the same. The Old Sales Cemetery has been located and photographed. It is in the woods just to the West of the dump station at the Quarry River Campground. It was very overgrown and difficult to locate until cleaned up in 2011 by Baxter County Jail Inmates. It also contains one (1) marked stone, but the name and dates are somewhat different from the one reported to be at the Old Conelly Cemetery during the 1979 survey. Therefore, it is quite possible that they are not the same. <b>NOTE: </b>The Baxter Bulletin Cemetery Map circa 1993 shows a place mark for this cemetery on the opposite side of the White River (which would be the South bank), but this does not match the description given in the Cemetery Book. <b>NOTE: An archaeologist with the Army Corp of Engineers in October, 2010 stated that this cemetery and the Old Sales Cemetery are one and the same, just known by different names. He stated there is only one (1) cemetery on Corp project land below the Norfork Dam. However, information posted on a genealogical web site discussion still indicates two separate cemeteries exist(ed).</b></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Old Fairview Cemetery:</b>Online research has found that old family histories and obituaries report the existence of an “Old” Fairview Cemetery that was said to be approximately ¼ to ½ mile NW of the current Fairview Cemetery off Baxter CR 57. It was said to be located near a spring and near an old homestead. It is said to contain many burials dated before approximately 1875, which was about the time the current Fairview Cemetery was started. Other than family histories and genealogical records, there are no other sources or materials that mention this cemetery. The area it was said to be located in now appears to be cleared pasture land. It is probable that no visible evidence of the cemetery still exists today.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Old Lone Rock Cemetery:</b>Located in the Lone Rock area near the rock for which the area is named. Overgrown and marked with field stones (source Baxter County cemetery article, circa 2002). There is a “Cockrum Cemetery” known to be located on private property owned by the Almans on Baxter CR 111 in Lone Rock that has also been referred to as the “Old Lone Rock Cemetery”, however there are multiple headstone markers found there with names, dates, and other descriptors. Therefore, this does not match the information about there being unmarked field stones <b><i>only</i></b><i></i> at the “Old Lone Rock Cemetery”. </div>

<b>Mooney Cemeteries (2): </b>According to the Baxter County Cemetery Book, there were two cemeteries located on the Old Mooney Plantation at the junction of Rainbow Drive and Whiteville Road.

It is located on the Meeks Farm in the 10,000 block of State Highway 101 North in the Gamaliel area on the West side of the roadway. The cemetery is in a field immediately adjacent to a private residence.<br />
<br />
There is only one gravestone in the cemetery. It reads, "Meeks, Mother Rachel C. 1863-1938, William H. 1861-19__". The gravestone is faded and eroded making it somewhat difficult to read. <br />

Access is by permission of the property owner only and can be made from Baxter CR 124 or CR 125. There is visual evidence of several graves here marked only with field stones. The Wolf family history places at least six members of the Wolf family as being buried here, possibly more. The location of the family home stood about 100 yards North of the field cemetery. <br />
<br />
I was escorted to the cemetery in January, 2012 by Annamae Freeman, who also provided some information concerning the cemetery. <br />

Take State Highway 341 (Push Mountain Road) to the South from State Highway 201 near Norfork. As soon as you cross over the Dr. Z. T. Sheid Bridge across the White River, turn left on Riverview Drive. Follow Riverview Drive about 2 miles until you enter "Porterfield Estates", along the river. Shortly after entering Porterfield Estates, Baxter CR 106 will veer off to the right going toward a home and some turkey houses. The Cemetery is located on a knoll in a field on the left side of baxter CR 106. <br />

There are at least four members of the Ellison family buried in this cemetery, so it would appropriately be called the Ellison Family Cemetery. Each burial site is marked with an inscribed gravestone. The cemetery appears to date from the early 1920s, or possibly before. It is surrounded by fencing.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">To locate the cemetery take State Highway 201 North from Mountain Home to Baxter CR 37, which will be on the right just before reaching the Missouri state line. Take Baxter CR 37 to the East about 3 miles until you come to Baxter CR 467. Turn left on CR 467 and go for about a mile. The cemetery is in a field about 200 yards off the roadway on the right, but is not usually visible from the roadway. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />

Take CR 483 left from Hwy 201 N for less than a mile. A short distance before you come to the creek crossing at the bottom of the hill there will be a private driveway on the right side of CR 483 that leads up the hill to a house. This private driveway and surrounding property belongs to a Mr. Sanchez. If you take his driveway, in a short distance you will see on your left the concrete foundation where the house for the Dover family homestead once stood. Just across the ditch line behind this foundation, in the middle of the field, you will see a small mounding of stones, with one that is standing upright. This is the location of the Dover Family Cemetery. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> I was escorted to this cemetery on January 7, 2012 by Mr. A. W. Dover. He relayed to me that his grandparents had once lived in the house until it was destroyed by fire. According to Mr. Dover and his wife, family records indicate that there are at least seven (7) members of the Dover family buried here, perhaps more. None of the large rocks marking the grave sites seem to have any names, dates, or inscriptions on them that are visible today. I was told that at one time there was a stone with the name "Francis" inscribed on it. The cemetery is believed to date from 1880.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; mso-ansi-language: EN;">The Heiskill Cemetery is located about 2 miles South of Buford on State Highway 126 (also known as Buffalo Rd.). State Highway 126 will intersect with Heiskill Cemetery Lane to the left (East). There is a cemetery sign at the intersection. The cemetery sits about 1/4 mile down at the end of the private drive. The drive is gated, but the gate can be opened to drive past. The cemetery itself is fenced. The earliest known burial is that of a child dating from 1863. The newer sections seems to be in front, while the older section is mostly toward the back of the cemetery. The cemetery is infrequently used, but should still be considered active. It appears to be mowed and cared for.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">"This little cemetery is listed in the Izard Co. Cemetery Book, but is actually in Baxter on the Satterfield ranch, north of Moccasin Creek. There are only two stones standing but several fallen and some just stones. There are markings on some of the stones. I read the name 'Zeb' on one stone. We counted about ten markers."</span> <br />
<br />
A publication of the Izard County Historical Society also indicates that Payne-Campbell is in Izard County, but it has been determined with certainty that it is in Baxter County.<br />
<br />
Update: 01/08/2012. I, along with a group of several other persons, walked to the Payne-Campbell Cemetery today. Directions to this cemetery were obtained from Mrs. Lloyd Satterfield. The cemetery is on their ranch and access is with their permission only, although they are very friendly and accommodating in this regard. To access the cemetery, drive State Highway 5 South from Norfork to Moccasin Creek at the Izard County line. Turn left on Moccasin Creek Road. Follow this road about 2 miles, crossing over three (3) very narrow bridges. After crossing the third bridge, the road bears sharply to the right. Begin looking for a rusted metal gate with plywood on it on the left hand side of the roadway along the fence line. If you make it to the fourth bridge, you have gone too far. <br />
<br />
Once you find this gate, find a place to pull as far off the roadway as you can and park. You will have to walk from here. Cross over the gate into the open field. A creek bed will be to your left. Follow the creek bed, bearing to the left. At the end of the open field you will come to another small creek branch. Cross over it, then bear to the right into another narrow open field. Continue walking and you will cross the same creek again and start walking up a hill, bearing to the right. This will be an old cedar glade road/trail that is clearly discernible. Continue up the trail about 150 yards. At the top of the hill, the land will begin to flatten or level out. Look on your right and you should be able to see a couple of upright headstones. This is the Payne-Campbell Cemetery. <br />
<br />
There are two gravestones with discernable names and dates, or partial dates. A third field stone has three initials carved into it that are barely visible. There are several other upright field stones marking grave sites that have no visible markings at all. There are many sunken places in the cemetery that are clearly grave sites but have no markers. Several of them are in a row and are obvious. <br />
<br />
The cemetery is abandoned and uncared for, but is not too terribly grown up. The one manufactured gravestone with identifiable dates indicates a date of death of 1870. The cemetery certainly pre-dates 1870 and may well pre-date the civil war. <br />

Take Push Mountain Road South from the White River/Norfork area about 6 miles to the intersection of CR 111, which will be on the left (East) side of the roadway. Continue on CR 111 about 3/4 mile to the Alman driveway on the left. The Alman home sits back some distance off the roadway at a slight elevation. The Cockrum Cemetery is located behind a barn on the Alman farm. This is an inactive cemetery and access is only available by permission of the property owner. There are 12 marked graves and probably several unmarked as well. The last recorded burial was in the 1920's.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<b><span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; mso-ansi-language: EN;">NOTE</span></b><span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; mso-ansi-language: EN;">: In The Baxter Bulletin cemetery article, circa 2002, it is stated that the "Old Lone Rock Cemetery" was overgrown and marked with field stones. Although Cockrum Cemetery is referred to by some as the "Old Lone Rock Cemetery", the Cockrum Cemetery actually has several inscribed headstone markers. Therefore, there may potentially be another "Old Lone Rock Cemetery" in the same general area with gravesites marked only with field stones, but that is unconfirmed.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

On January 14, 2012, I was escorted to the Cantrell-Brewer Cemetery by Mr. Heath Jones. To reach it, take State Highway 341 (Push Mountain Road) South from Norfork to the Lone Rock community. When you come to the intersection of State Highway 341 and Baxter CR 72, turn right on CR 72. After less than a mile CR 72 will make a 90 degree turn to the left, while another dirt county road continues straight. Stay on CR 72 for about 3 miles. Continue past "Payne Ln", a private roadway on the left, for about another 1/2 mile to the bottom of the hill. At the bottom of the hill on the left will be a U. S. Forest Service sign designating the boundary of the national forest, and there will be a trail leading into the woods. Park at the trail head and walk on the trail. The trail will immediately fork to the left and to the right. Take the left fork and head up the hill. It is close to a 1/2 mile hike up the trail, which is uphill all the way. The trail is marked in several places by Forest Service signs. Once you reach the top of the hill, the Cantrell-Brewer Cemetery will be visible on your left.<br />

A metal sign has been erected for the cemetery along the trail. Only one double gravestone has readable names and dates on it. There is also a very old funeral home metal marker at one grave site that seemed to have the date 1927 on it. All of the remaining grave sites are marked only with upright field stones. This is a small cemetery, with evidence of around 10 graves. It was enclosed by a wire fence at one time, but the fence has now collapsed on all sides. There are some fallen limbs and branches, but the cemetery is still in fairly good condition.<br />

</div><span lang="EN">The Galatia Cemetery is a very old, large, and still active cemetery. It is located on State Highway 5 South, about 4 miles South of the City of Norfork, adjacent to the highway. According to the Baxter County Cemetery Book, the Galatia Cemetery is actually composed of four separate cemeteries (Arnold Family, Adams Family, Parnell Family, and the Public Area). The oldest marked graves are the 1854 graves of twins John R. and Sarah R. Lackey. There are also slaves from the Killian family buried in this cemetery. The historic Galatia Church building is also on the grounds, located at the SW corner. The cemetery is very well cared for and maintained. A detailed history of this cemetery can be found online at the Arkansas Gravestones Project web site: <a href="http://arkansasgravestones.org/view.php?id=91487">http://arkansasgravestones.org/view.php?id=91487</a></span><br />

It lies on a hilltop, just across the creek from the old houseplace." She continues by saying that there are twenty graves there with no tombstones or names, just big rocks at the head and little rocks at the foot of the graves. She states that the cemetery was started during the civil war and that she visited this old graveyard in the summer of 1968. <br />
<br />
The Baxter Bulletin cemetery map has a placemark shown for Culvahouse Cemetery in this general area, but no additional details. Several walking tours throughout this general overall area failed to locate evidence of the Culvahouse Cemetery here, using the somewhat vague description given in the book as a reference. Of the numerous area residents asked about Culvahouse Cemetery, only one older couple remembered there being a cemetery in this approximate area when they were children. They remembered it being called the <i>Coverhouse </i>Cemetery. <br />
<br />
This land is now fenced pasture for grazing cattle. There is evidence of an old homestead here, and an old barn with a tin roof remains in this general location. There is also a tall mound of dirt that has been piled up with a wire fence enclosing it. The significance of this, if any, is not factually known. It may be enclosing the area of ground where the cemetery had been, or it may have been delineated for some other unknown reason.<br />
<br />
If anyone has knowledge or additional information about Culvahouse Cemetery, I would appreciate an email.</span><br />

<span lang="EN">There is a cemetery identified as "<strong><u>Cuff Cemetery</u></strong>" on the topographical map (with coordinates) and other maps that is supposed to be located in a very rural and remote area of Baxter County off CR 131 near the Ozark National Forest. The cemetery is called "<u><strong>Unknown Cemetery in SE Baxter County, #69</strong></u>" on the Baxter Bulletin Cemetery Map, circa 1993. The cemetery is not mentioned at all in the Baxter County Cemetery Book entitled "Of Grave Importance". Few other details or information seems to be accessible in any listed or published source, either in print or online.</span><br />

I have made two visual walking tours of this location trying to find some evidence of a cemetery here. This property and surrounding property is currently owned by the Branscum family. The area is a sloping rocky field or pasture used for cattle. Jim and Linda Branscum relayed to Annamae Freeman, who passed the information along to me, that there are believed to be about thirty (30) graves in this cemetery. An early land patent shows this property to be that of Jacob Dillard, who was known by some of the Branscums as "Uncle Cuff", and that members of the black community were buried there, thus the name "Cuff Cemetery". There are no manufactured gravestones nor even upright field stones making grave plots that I could see in this location.<br />
<br />
If anyone has additional information concerning this cemetery, I would love to get an email from you.<br />
<b></b><br />
<b></b><strong><u>Note:</u></strong> Another researcher from the Norfork area stated he also searched for the Cuff Cemetery about 20-25 years ago while surveying other cemeteries in the area but was unable to locate it. He believes it was a cemetery used for african-american burials and that no trace of it now remains.</span><br />

The cemetery was created when four acres of land were donated by Newt and Mack Tucker in 1844, according to Mary Ann Messick, although she states the oldest marked grave is from December 2, 1861.</span><br />

Two members of the Henderson family whose cremains had been interred at the Mountain Home Cemetery were moved to this location, with the cremains of a third member of the family being interred here after he passed. There is a black granite memorial erected in the cemetery. The cemetery is located immediately adjacent to the Henderson Post Office on U. S.

This is one of the oldest cemeteries in Northwest Arkansas. Sources indicate that the oldest original marker is the grave of Maldred Wolf dating from 1823. The Wolf and Adams families were pioneers who settled this area around 1820. Sources also report that the cemetery contains the grave of a Revolutionary War veteran, two War of 1812 veterans, and several Civil War Conferderate veterans. The cemetery is reached by traveling South on State Highway 5 from Norfork, Arkansas to the intersection of Baxter CR 68 (Dwelle Rd.) Follow CR 68 about 3 miles to the railroad tracks. The cemetery is found just across the tracks to the right. There is no direct access by motor vehicle. You can walk down the railroad tracks a short distance to the cemetery. It is believed that additional graves may located on the opposite side of the railroad tracks that were separated from the cemetery proper when the tracks were laid. There are about 65-70 unidentified graves marked only with field stones.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">The Wolf Cemetery has been nominated for the National Register of Historic Places. It is one of nine nominations being considered by the National Register Board as of November, 2012. </span><br />

Take State Highway 5 North from Mountain Home. At the Mountain Home City Limits, turn right on Baxter CR 27. Go about 1/2 mile to the intersection of Baxter CR 26. CR 27 will turn sharply to the right. Take this turn and continue about 2 1/2 miles and Walker Cemetery will be on the right. It clearly identified with a cemetery arch. This cemetery dates from the late 1800's, with many burials occurring through the 1960's. The cemetery may no longer be active, but it is well cared for and maintained.</span><br />

The gravesites of two small children are located here. The property is currently owned by Roger Pitchford, and the old "Davis" homestead is near the gravesites. They have no headstones, and you can only locate them in the Spring of the year, as the gravesites are outlined by jonquils that were planted to mark the graves. The graves are for Elijah Lawson, who died in 1905 and Infant Daughter Lawson, who died in 1910. Small concrete slabs have also been placed in the ground to mark the locations of the graves.</span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; mso-ansi-language: EN;">I was escorted here in the Spring, 2011 and shown these gravesites by Linda Bradbury and her husband.</span><br />
