STRONG CEMETERY

Est. ca 1906:

 

This cemetery is located on the outskirts of the town of Strong, Arkansas in Union County. 

Go about one mile south on Hwy. 129(aka Oakland Road) from the intersection of State Hwy. 82 in Strong.

The entry to the cemetery will be to your right & just ahead is the intersection of Hwy. 275(aka Huttig Hwy.)

I originally surveyed this cemetery on January 9th & 10th, 2003. Updated  April 2006, June 2009 from

obituaries. New canvass of cemetery made in June 2011, along with the collaboration of Ms. Bender.

*Last  update  June  2019.

Once again, Ms. Bender was gracious enough to collaborate with me,

making my update job much easier.

I have tried to the best of my ability to get everyone, however,

there is no guarantee that someone was not missed.

I mention this, because this will be the my last update, for the Strong cemetery.

*Note: at the end of this list of burials & the few pictures, is an article about the

tornado that struck Strong in 1927, killing at least 23 people.  The list of names are

given.  I have also marked some of the victims who are buried in this cemetery,

by putting a small flower by their name.

*Please go to the end of this survey should you have need of info about the cemetery,

plots, cost, etc. or who to contact.  Janice Holzer    jholzer321@cablelynx.comJCSH432@gmail.com

the Arkansas Death Index 1914-1950; *WOW indicates a Woodman of the World headstone;

RELATIVES  of  LOCAL  PEOPLE  AMONG  THOSE

KILLED   &  INJURED  in  TORNADO  at  STRONG

 

Many Local Citizens,  Former Residents of  Stricken

Area Rush to Strong Following News Received of

Catastrope

Strong Tornado   May 9, 1927

 

Approximately, 23 persons were killed and upwards of 50 were more

or less injured when a tornado struck the towns of Strong and Norphlet

in Union County Arkansas about four o'clock Monday afternoon.

 

The twister coursed over several states including Texas, Arkansas,

Missouri and Illinois.   In Cedar Grove and South Highlands, suburbs

of Shreveport,  the tornado dipped down but did slight damage with

no loss of life reported.

 

At Norphlet, an oil town near El Dorado, the tornado blew down all

the oil derricks and twisted residences about the town into splinters. 

Several casualties was the result at this place.  At Strong, which was

the hardest hit of the two Union County towns, the tornado dipped

down like an unleased lion and left death and desolation in its

path, the result of which is indescribable.  Mangled people, some

dead, some dying, lay in the wake of the cyclone, with some under

tinder the debris of a mass of ruins before the framework of a quiet

and pretty little farming town of Union county.   Only the shattered

trunks of two trunks of two business houses of the village were

left standing, those being the bank and hotel, the resat a pile of

ruins lying flat or partially so upon the grounds.  Nearly all the

residences of the town were caught in the grip of the cyclone and

were left a twisted and splintered wreck.

 

Strong is located on the Missouri Pacific railway between Bastrop

and El Dorado about forty miles northwest of Bastrop and since

Bastrop begun to grow a few years ago, many of the citizens of

Strong cast their lot here.  For that reason, much apprehension was

felt here when it was first learned that a cyclone had struck the town

and many Bastrop people left immediately through the heavy

down pour of rain that was falling at the time.  Several residents of

this city lost some of their dearest friends and relatives in

the cyclone.

 

Among the residents of a Bastrop who hastened to the ill fated town

 were;  Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Lawrence, Frank Harrison, Mrs. Ruby

McMath, John Sisson, Bud and Walter Hood,  Dr. E.M. Clark, Jasper

and George Norris, Mr. and Mrs. Hendricks, Levy Gray, George

Gilmore, Quillar Davis, Harry Davis, Mr. and Mrs. Miles, Davis and

Fltetcher Harrison.
