Old Champagnolle Cemetery

OLD CHAMPAGNOLLE CEMETERY

aka 'Castleberry-Champagnolle Cemetery' ~ Est. 1882

Union County, Arkansas

*Near Ouachita River SE of the small community of Calion. The original cemetery

(first est. ca 1873) was located closer to the Ouachita River & during a flood, part of

the cemetery was washed away, along with several graves. According to what I was told

by an old timer, the cemetery was moved farther away from the river & re-located on higher

ground, it's present day location about 1882. *In the area of the old community of

Champagnolle, once a thriving place with the land office & a major landing on the River

for river traffic

that he gave his only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in him

should not perish but have everlasting life.

meet her again in heaven....... her home."

"My dear brother is resting in Jesus. His body lies here, but his spirit

is returned to God, who gave it in the resurrection, morning when the dead

in Christ shall rise. Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resu-

rrection, on such the second death has no power. God called him home, he was ready

to go, he had strong faith in God, and always ready to tell others of his hope and trust.

He joined Champagnolle Church 55 years ago. He walked with God in the narrow

road that leads to life, he lived in the spirit, read God's word, lived closer to God every

day, often said if we have not the spirit of Christ we are none of his, and we must be

sanctified in the Lord Jesus Christ unto God who suffered and died for all. He suffered

much but would say "Christ suffered and we must suffer for him, we miss him here, but

God's will be done. I know it will not be long before I meet him again in Heaven, Jesus

is coming again to call us home to that beautiful city of God."

*JOHN B. ANDREWS:

The family of John & Lucas Andrews, & Joe Hoffrog, intends to place a new

marker for John, just as they did for Lucas & Joe. All three men drowned in a boat accident

on the Ouachita River somewhere between Lock & Dam 8 at Calion and Monroe. James Alfred

Parker of Calion gave information on this to the family - "they were working with a logging

crew on a boat, hauling barges of logs to Monroe; a storm suddenly came up and sank the

boat and the barges, all three men drowned and it took a long time to recover their bodies.

James Alfred Parker's father, Alfred, helped to bury them at Champagnolle. The bodies are

located between the grave of Joe Hoffrog's old marker and fence. *D: Feb 1905 In October 2011,

I found no stones for either of the Andrew men.

*I have never seen him on any of the older surveys of this cemetery, nor are there any other

Tomlinsons recorded as being buried here. *See "Find-A-Grave" for details.

This cemetery to my knowledge has never been in Calhoun County. Champagnolle Landing

which was located not too far from this cemetery & was the main land office ….was always

listed in Union County. When the flood happened in the 1870's washing away part of the

Champagnolle-Castleberry Cemetery, it was moved farther in land from the Ouachita

River bank. The moving of the county boundaries for that area occurred in the 1870's.

The flood that occurred, washed away part of the cemetery that was located near the bank

on the Ouachita River, taking a dozen or more graves down the river….

possibly this child's grave was one of those that washed away.

JOHN B. ANDREWS, LUCAS ANDREWS, & JOE HOFFROG:

All three men drowned in a boat accident on the Ouachita River somewhere

between Lock & Dam 8 at Calion & Monroe.

*Source: James Alfred Parker of Calion provided the info to the families.....

"They were working with a logging crew on a boat, hauling barges of logs to Monroe;

a sudden storm came up and sank the boat and the barges.

All three men were drowned, February 1905.

Recovering the bodies took a long time.

James Alfred Parker's father, Alfred, helped bury them at Champagnolle

Their graves were located between the grave of Joe Hoffrog (his old marker)

and the fence.
