Siloam Cemetery is located about 2 ½ miles north-east of Enola, Faulkner Co., Arkansas; and about a half-mile off the main road which comes to a dead-end when it reaches the cemetery, in Section 28, Township 7, Range 11 North.
This small cemetery dates back to the 1840s and at this time it has 230 graves with only 86 of them with markers. It is seldom used any more and has very few visitors, but it is kept in good condition by donations of the people in the area. In times past the road continued on past the place going north, and there used to be another road that crossed there going east and west, making the place at a crossroad. It was called Siloam Springs because there were two good springs down by the Curtis Branch, which was close by.
In the late 1840’s a long house with two fireplaces, one at each end of the house was erected, which was to be used by the newly established Mount Zion Baptist Church, the newly formed school and eventually the Enola Lodge No. 124.
Some of those buried in this cemetery still have people living in the community, while others, the names are forgotten except for being on records. It is not known for sure who was the first buried at Siloam, but the earliest recorded date is 1854.

John F. Curtis, was born in Virginia, Feb. 24, 1812; and his wife, Elizabeth M. Caudle was born January 5, 1820. They were married October 31, 1838 in Decatur, Newton Co., Mississippi. Around 1845 the Curtis family, along with the Heffington and Brady families traveled across country together until they reached Garland Springs.
The Brady family remained near Garland Springs, while the Heffingtons moved onto the west to Crossroads; and the Curtis family came south, and more than likely, stopped his wagon at the springs near Siloam. It was here the Curtises homesteaded several hundred acres of land. John and Elizabeth Curtis had four sons and three daughters. The sons were: John, Will, Sam and Jesse. John and Elizabeth were buried at Siloam Cemetery, but no markers were ever put at their graves.
