Old Barker Cemetery

Surveyed by Della J. (Sanders) Glenn.

To get to the old Barker Cemetery at Viola, Fulton County, Arkansas, go south out of Viola on 223 Hwy about a mile or so to the curve at the top of the big hill.  Go through the gate on the north (right) side of the road.  The cemetery will be just ahead of you at that point.  There are several infants buried there and some of the stones were close to unreadable.
