SWEET HOME CEMETERY

Est.1892

Union  County, Arkansas.   Located  off  State Hwy. 275,  southeast  of  Strong.  This

is a well maintained cemetery,  surrounded by a chain link fence. Originally, the New

Prospect Methodist Church organized by Rev. John Lambert Dopson was located across

the street from the cemetery that was later established.  This area was known as the

community of “Concord” in those days. Later the church and cemetery names

were changed to Sweet Home.  Just the cemetery still exists.
