"Old" SHADY GROVE BAPTIST CEMETERY
Est.
1846 Union Co., AR
❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀
Located about 7 miles East of El
Dorado. Go East Hwy. 63 to West Lake
Road, then go North
down a dirt road for a mile or so.
Cemetery will be to your left. ( aka formerly
known as Hwy. 15)
Locals refer to this highway as Old
Union or Moro Bay Rd.
* Note:
this cemetery is in the woods but covers about 3 acres.....there are
probably about
30 to 50 graves that I did not inventory, but most were more recent.
This cemetery has both white and black
burials.
The white section is located on the back
side (across the top of the knoll) and runs from
the woods on the south end to the woods on the north end.
Undoubtedly many graves are unmarked,
since there is a lot of open space between
the top and bottom half of the cemetery,
and it is an old cemetery.
One Revolutionary Soldier, Benjamin
Cook, is buried here. October 7, 2001
Updated April 2004, using earlier
canvass done by Ralph O. Weldon in December 1991.

JOHN W. MOODY 9-15-1844 to 10-18-1912
*S/of Thomas Moody (b: ca 1844) &
Martha Lambert Moody(b: ca
1848)
*(2012)
Headstone is broken off base & propped up against it. Questions
about his
birth year...some give it as 1874, but I believe it was misread & should be
1844.
MARTHA E. MOODY (Age 55) ca 1846 to 11-23-1901
*Speculation:
(2012) There is a broken headstone next
to John W.
Moody, that is
totally illegible & broken....but the shape & style is
similiar to
John W. Moody's headstone. Martha's age
& death date are from
earlier surveys done of the cemetery.

"Gone but

MOSLEY Family Plot.....* I believe the
following people to be Mosley's or possibly Hicks.
The Mosley
family stone is very visible, but behind it is a pile of rubble from broken
tombstones
& a couple of the following ones with only a
first name given. These graves are found in
