Compiled by: Linda Haas Davenport 
The information below comes from two copyrighted books - "The History of Marion Co, AR by Earl Berry (1977) now out of print and "The History of Marion Co, AR Silver Anniversary Edition" containing corrected and updated information. The Heritage Society of Marion Co AR holds the copyright on both books. Please respect the Society's copyrights and do non copy any of this data and place on whatever website. If you want to apply this information please link to this page. Small amounts of the information below may be copied for your personal use.
The Heritage Gild of Marion Co, AR has granted me permission to apply the cemetery information from both books and place it here on the USGenWeb's Marion Co website.
To complied the below information on the histories of Marion Co, AR'due south cemeteries I used the information found in the 2 books listed above. From Earl Drupe's 1977 book I used the "Cemeteries" Essay by Marian Burnes. From "The History of Marion Co, AR Silver Ceremony Edition" (1997) I used any additional data and noted it every bit MCH: inside parenthesis ( ).
"Cemeteries" past Marian Burnes
from "History of Marion Canton"
"From earliest recorded history, burial grounds have been considered hallowed ground. The 23rd chapter of Genesis gives an account of the death and burial of Abraham'southward love married woman, Sarah. He was in a foreign land. The 3rd poetry of Genesis 23 gives the following account of his want of a burial ground, and his request to the sons of Heth who inhabited that state: "I am a stranger and sojourner with you lot: give me a possession of a burying place with you, that I may bury my dead out of my sight." The affiliate goes on to record that he would not accept it equally a gift, simply desired the cave of Machpelah, and paid Ephron, the owner, the full purchase price as a sure possession for the cave and field, and all the trees that were in the field and in the borders circular nearly information technology.
Early Marion County historians accept recorded finding Indian burial grounds with spears, arrows, etc., cached with the Indians, thus insuring them a good life in the "happy hunting grounds" where they had gone.
The cemeteries of Marion Canton, and in fact of any area, are of invaluable aid to family historians too as those doing research on the history of the County.
Early cemeteries were located on ground usually donated by owners. Several facts were taken into consideration in establishing cemeteries. Roads were poor, so proximity to homes was of great importance. Undertakers as such were unknown, then burials took identify soon after death. Creek crossing was difficult, so many small cemeteries were begun when creeks were upwards and impossible to ford. Many were begun on the owner's own farms as a burial place for their family dead. Usually these continued to be under that name.
I will give the cemeteries alphabetically and then a few unknown ones final.
In pioneer days there was no perpetual paid care, as is the instance in several cemeteries today. Neighbors had a working each jump, cleaned off the brush and old decorations and got them ready for the annual decoration. These occurred, as some still do, on the same Sunday each yr. They were somewhat in the nature of a homecoming. Old settlers came from far and nigh for the annual decoration - to decorate graves, cry over their dead and greet family unit and friends. Each family decorated its own graves, and, especially in the early on days, spared a few flowers for the neglected graves which had no family to care for them. Today the cemeteries in use are normally kept mowed by a commission who solicit donations to pay for the work. Near used cemeteries are kept in improve condition today - mowed, well fenced, etc., Just alas, the former abandoned cemeteries are beingness fast lost to history every bit they grown up castor, the tombstones decaying and falling down."
Clicking on a letter of the alphabet below will movement you to that section of the alphabet.

Affront Cemetery: is located on White River, in a higher place Cotter. It is very near the site of the old Denton Ferry. It is grown upwards and no longer in use. (MCH- Located in a field at present owned by Lyle Wood. Information technology is no longer used and was established at that place past the Barb Family who originally owned the subcontract. Virtually early graves are of members of that family unit. The latest grave is that of Lt. Albert Thousand. Cravens, who died in 1931. He was a veteran of the Ceremonious War, having been a Lieutenant in the 27th Arkansas Infantry. Later he became a steamboat captain on the White River. Before his death at 91 years of age, "Daddy" Cravens, equally he was known, requested that he be cached in that location in sight of the White River. An inscription on his stone reads "Pioneer. Soldier. Patriot".)
Beckham Cemetery: This cemetery is located in the farthermost southwestern corner of Marion County. The nearest towns are Everton and Western Grove. It is in utilize now, and many are existence cached there. It is a lovely cemetery and well kept. (MCH- located in SW one/4, S14, T17,R18.

Also buried hither is an Avey child, child of Olivan and Rosa Bell Humprey Avey. Other family unit members of the Brantley family are buried here in unmarked graves. Two stones only. (Mysty McPherson adds this for your information: Access to cemeteries by roads fit for automobiles is an AR state law. Yet, this constabulary does NOT apply to federal lands. Therefore, access to cemeteries within the boundaries of Buffalo River National Park has become the equivalent of non-existent. It's been fought out in courts etc. and, of grade, the feds take won <groan> Special arrangements can be fabricated with the park service, merely I hear that's typical bureaucratic complicate-the-effect garbage. Arrangements include unlocking gates, taking down fences, 4X vehicles, backpack hikes, advert infinitum - all at THEIR convenience, of course.)

Quondam Buffalo Cemetery: is on White River near the mouth of the Buffalo River. It is on the Baxter Hurst farm and is rather grown up now. The oldest Marker the author could read was i with the inscription "Sacred to the Memory" of William Kendall Hogan 1820-1855. He was operating a store at Quondam Buffalo City in 1849 and boarding with a Mr. Morland. Buffalo City at the time was near that site. Information technology was after moved across White River into Baxter County. For many years the remains of houses, old cisterns, etc could be seen in the pasture surrounding this onetime cemetery. The ruins bore mute testimony to the fact that this was in one case a thriving town. At the present time, white faced cattle roam the fields. With the coming of the railroad the town was moved across the river to be on the railroad. Much ore was shipped from here during the mining nail. Early on, ore was taken from hither downwardly the river by barge and steamboat.

Dial Curve Cemetery: Meet Peel Cemetery
Dodd City Cemetery: is located north of Yellville almost 10 miles. It is nearly i mile off paved HWY 14. This cemetery has been used very little for many years. Lately it was cleared and a chain link fence put upwards. I was told 2 men who were murdered by "bushwhackers" during the Civil War were brought hither and buried, this began this cemetery. (HMC - Located nearly 12 miles north of Yellville and one mile west of State Hwy xiv in the NE1/four S4,S19,T17. It has a poor admission road. Co-ordinate to data given in the "Reminiscent History of the Ozark Region", Dodd City post office was established about 1872 by Dr. Hiempsal S. Dodd and was named by him "Doddville", subsequently changed to Dodd City. He served every bit outset postmaster. He came to the pine lands of the Ozark Mountains seeking a climate meliorate suited to his concrete status. He built a gristmill and sawmill there, and so as in that location were but two post offices in the county, he petitioned for one there, and information technology was granted. He has a brother, Samuel L. Dodd, buried in the Dodd City Cemetery, simply Dr. Dodd and his married woman are buried on the hill merely to a higher place Dodd Urban center. The Dodd City cemetery is an one-time cemetery and many graves are there with no markers. There are now 22 which tin can exist read. It is no longer in use and is located in a fenced woodland. This cemetery was started right after the Civil War when bushwhackers hanged three men down below the present site of Dodd Urban center. Later on they were gone, the women cut them downwardly, dug shallow graves and buried them, thus starting Dodd City Cemetery. This cemetery has four veterans, with is unusual for a small cemetery.)

Hampton Cemetery: is an old cemetery on the head of Georges Creek on the subcontract now owned by Mrs. Hester Lee. The Hampton family lived there many years ago. In that location are several graves in the pasture but there are no bought stones. There are several native stones on which there is some data carved but about of the names and dates are illegible.
Hepsey Cemetery: This cemetery is on Big Creek, not far from where it runs into the Buffalo River. It is now in the Buffalo National River Park with route access fenced off. At one time, Hepsey had two schools in the commune besides as a shop and cotton gin. Before access was fenced off, this was a very popular fishing expanse. For many years this was a large fertile farm with many families living here. According to the families who have relatives buried hither, there are Wallis, Harringtons, Adams, Marburys, Lacks, Davis and other families with dead buried there. Surviving members are now trying to get the route opened to provide access to the cemetery. Families who members I take contacted tell me there are no graves with names and dates. This cemetery was also called Indian Cemetery many years ago.
Hogan Cemetery: Run into Oakland Cemetery
Old Hurst/Teagarden Cemetery: This cemetery is located on Crooked Creek, 6 and one half miles below Yellville, on a subcontract now endemic by Lester Jefferson. It has been a big cemetery at ane time. Many of the stones are native stone with the inscription chiseled on them. Information technology has non been used for many years. (MCH: I have been told that information technology was the original Hurst Cemetery, located on the subcontract then owned past John Hurst. When Crooked Creek was at flood stage, the other Hurst cemetery across the creek near Us Hwy 62, was begun due to their inability to ford the Crooked Creek. Many of the markers here are of native rock with names and dates chiseled on them. Buried here are many pioneer settlers and I'm sure many with no markers. One former grave has this inscription: L.B. Horn, 1820-1861 "was murdered". Equally this was the outbreak of the Civil War, I tin can only surmise he was probably killed by bushwhackers in the early days of the state of war. Several graves here have dates of death during the Civil State of war. Families with 5 or more than markers include Halls, Horns and Rea.)
(February 19, 1999 Message from the ARMARION-L list: The early Marion county Cemetery known as the Former Hurst or Hurst/Teagarden Cemetery needs your assist. We are looking for an informational group who will help brand some decisions as to how this cemetery might exist reclaimed. Many pioneer families who fabricated Marion County what it is today are cached here. A lot of work has been washed by the tardily Luther Hall and many others who take ready a maintenance fund. The Jefferson families have graciously agreed that family members can accept access to the once quite large cemetery and several workers have been recruited to do some clean upwards. Some of the early pioneers buried here include: Family unit members of the John Hurst and Rachel (Wood) Hurst who came from Kentucky to the area in 1811 and donated country from their farm for this cemetery. Their early on family unit members are cached hither. Daniel Webster Hall, who was born in Orwell Vermont, moved to Brazil Indiana and married Hannah Treat before coming to Arkansas. Daniel was a member of the NY Militia during the War of 1812 and was captured by the British. After getting out of prison he was granted 160 acres of land compensation in Marion Canton, now called Hall Mountain. Family unit members of Wilson Rea, a former Illinois legislator, immigrated to early on Marion County and John Rea and married woman Martha (Dudley) Rea have family members buried hither. The John B. Treat family, John was from Middletown Connecticut, and was sent by the president of the US to Arkansas in 1804, just after the Louisiana Buy, to trade with the Indians. Family unit members of this early family are buried here. Many of the stones are no longer legible. The Abram Wood Jr. family came to Arkansas in 1811 from Bedford County Tennessee. He bought squatters rights from one of the local Indians for country on Crooked Creek. Abram gave the Indian a pony, a gun and $25. Abram Wood was married to Mariam Williams, the sis of Thomas Shelte Williams, likewise an early Marion County settler. Early settler Charles Newton Baker and his wife Sarah Isabell Forest are cached in this cemetery. Many other families are represented in the early pioneers' cemetery. Graves that are all the same identifiable include Cole, Gaines, Harwell, Horn, Kerr Lovell, Morland, Phillips and others. One gravestone for L.B. Horn 1820-1861 but says "Was Murdered". Many of the graves announced to be Civil War related. Don Ott

His wife was Elizabeth Parnum Milum and his son was Thomas D. Thomas D was in the Civil War. He was badly wounded and in Little Rock Hospital. His begetter Brice, took a buggy and went to Niggling Rock to bring him home. When he died, he was buried past his mother here. Col Jefferson came here very early from NC and bought a large acreage on Crooked Creek. Dr Weast told me he began this cemetery for his family and slaves. Cached there in a marked grave are his son, Rufus Jefferson, who as born in 1825 and died in 1867. He married a Stinnett in Marion Co. A pace girl Rachael Martin and Col Jefferson's first wife, Charlotte C. are buried hither. Co-ordinate to an early on issue of the paper Mountain Echo, Vienna Austin Rea, wife of Moses Rea is also buried here. Many graves were marked just with field rock markers. It is believed that Col Jefferson and his wife, Charlotte, are buried in this cemetery.
Jefferson Hall Cemetery: aka Hall Cemetery (This cemetery was not in the Cemetery Book unless I missed it) (HMC: Is an erstwhile cemetery almost 7 or 8 miles due south of Yellville in the NE 1/4, S21, T18, R17. It is on the hill above Hampton Creek and has non been used much in years. Burial dates there go back to the 1870s. Most numerous burials with markers are Blankenship, Dodd, Honeycutt and Patterson.

The majority of names in the cemetery are Yocham, Ziegler, King, Scott and Perkins.

In that location is very poor admission to the cemetery now and information technology is difficult to find. (MCH: Is on Moccasin Creek nearly one mile above the Jimmies Creek road to Flippin. It is in the NW1/4, S3, T19, R16, and is near the site of the Sometime Kingdon Springs. Most dates are from 1900-1920, which leads me to believe information technology was used mostly during the mining boom at Kingdon Springs. No burials take been fabricated there in years.)
James Moon Farm Cemetery: This cemetery is on private holding of James Moon, NW - NW Sec 27, TS20 R18
Mountain View Cemetery: Encounter Noe Cemetery
