NE Arkansas Cemetery Research

cations and contents. Thanks to genealogists and family historians, we have started visiting some of the most endangered cemeteries in Craighead County. If not for our informants, we would never have been able to locate some of these remote sites. Sadly some of these cemeteries have already disappeared. Because of the sheer numbers of those needing to be recorded, this task will be an ongoing project for years to come. There are over 100 cemeteries that have been reported to us by area residents and historians in Craighead County alone. We plan to visit each one, gathering GPS data, location data, plus the number of graves in each cemetery that can be determined - both marked and unmarked. This information will be permanently recorded with the Arkansas Archaeological Survey. We welcome any information you may have on any cemetery in Craighead County, but also those in Clay, Crittenden, Cross, Fulton, Greene, Independence, Izard, Jackson, Lawrence, Poinsett, Randolph, Sharp, St. Francis and White counties. Information will be posted under NOTES on this page as time allows.
