This cemetery was listed on September 3, 2001, by Laveda Steed of Bradford, a member of the White County Historical Society. It
is located in the S ½ of the SE ¼ of Sec 9, T9N, R5W on land owned by Charles Lawrence of Judsonia, a great-grandson of James
Boyce. Following are Laveda Steed’s directions on how to reach the cemetery: Take Highway 87 west of Bradford, turn left at the
top of the hill onto Velvet Ridge Road for approximately 7.0 miles, turn left on Troy Cox Road for approximately one-half mile, then
left on Honey Holler Road for approximately 1.5 miles, then left on Fire Tower Road for approximately 2.0 miles to Norman Hicks’
property in Section 16. The cemetery is approximately a half-mile northwest of the Hicks home in the timber.
According to Laveda Steed, the land was homesteaded by James Boyce who came to Arkansas from West Virginia in 1886. The
cemetery contains gravesites of family members and relatives. All headstones were in good shape in 2001 except the stone for
James Boyce, which had been broken into three pieces. There are numerous gravesites marked only with rocks.
The cemetery was cleaned off on September 3, 2001, by Harold Boyce, Tom Boyce and Charles Lawrence, grandsons and great-
grandson of James Boyce.

I will be posting more burials later. The Searcy Daily Citizen donated all their Micro Film and Ledgers dating
back to 1953. After reviewing them, if I find a death of a person that we do not have I will to add to the
cemetery listings.
There are some graves listed as unmarked that may have had a tombstone set since the listing was made.
I may have missed some graves when I prepared the listing. Some cemeteries are very hard to get an
accurate listing due to how some graves are scattered
