Radford Freewill Cemetery
between Red Star and Fallsville, Arkansas
"gone but not forgotten"

This cemetery is right off the highway.  It's not but a few miles from Fallsville right over the Newton/Madison County Line.  Most of the cemetery is up over a hill, so it doesn't look very big when you first park and start walking into it.  But graves are on the side of the hill and at the top with alot of trees around it.  The cemetery does have a chain link fence around it with an iron arch with it's name on it.

We are collected as many obituaries of these people as we can,...so if anyone has anything to share or if you would like for us to see about getting you a copy of what we have feel free to e-mail us at clinefam@yournet.com we feel like working together we will not let these people fade out of memories.  "Gone but not forgotten"
Robert and Rosa
