Lee County, Arkansas Cemeteries

 

Higgins Cemetery

Bear Creek, Arkansas

 

 

 

Location: This cemetery is located down the camp ground road 223 at Bear Creek.

 

This listing was compiled by Mary Anderson with the help of notes from Willie Mae Knight Higgins Whiteside and Cleola Higgins Anderson Clarke and submitted on April 28, 2004.  Margaret Ann Nichols added the names of both of her sons, Dixie III & Daniel Higgins, on May 9, 2006.  I combined Mary’s list with notes that I had taken at the cemetery several years ago and added that information on June 26, 2006.  George Edward & Vinie Higgins are my great-great grandparents, so this cemetery is very meaningful to me personally.  If you have any further information about this cemetery, please contact me. by Paige Achord

 

 

If you know of anyone else buried here, and would like to add their name, please contact me.    The information presented is as correct as possible, however you may want to verify its accurateness.
