This cemetery is located in Cleburne County, but this area was originally part of White County. Leroy Blair of the White County

Historical Society prepared a report on this site after he first visited here on July 12, 2001. Following are his directions: “To reach

the cemetery from Wilburn, take Tyler Road; when you get to the end of the blacktop go about a mile to Warren Mountain Road.

Turn right and go a mile and one tenth [1.1 mile]. The road will split three different ways. Take the road to the right for about two-

tenths of a mile. The cemetery is on the right. It covers about two acres and is fenced with a gate. It is very clean.” Blair visited

the cemetery again on March 13, 2007, and updated the original list, adding rows (in parenthesis) beside the names, to make it

easier to locate graves. DS – denotes double tombstone.

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

The following Abbreviations are used in the listings

.

FM-Funeral home marker DS-Double tombstone TS-Triple tombstone

(Obit)-means that the Historical Society has, or has access to the Obituary for this person.
