The first settlement in White County dates from 1789 with the Spanish Grant #2416 to Francis Francure at Georgetown, early
known as Nigger Hill, containing 1,361 arpens at the mouth of the Little Red River. This was the second settlement in the state
following Arkansas Post. Cloie and Leister E. Presley of the White County Historical Society prepared a listing of the cemetery in
1967. Fifteen years later, Sam and Pauline Cleaver and Pearl Johnson of Georgetown updated the information, then the Cleavers
updated again in June 1999 in cooperation with the White County Historical Society. Nelson Cemetery is located a mile and a half
west of Georgetown on Highway 36.
"Nelson Cemetery (the land) was given to the people by the Nelsons," Pauline Cleaver said in 1999. "The Georgetown Cemetery
was used when the town was cut off by floods between Nelson Cemetery and Georgetown. I do believe the Georgetown Cemetery
is the oldest because of the Gosnell dates… Pearl Johnson for years was a midwife and the only ‘doctor’ as they called it for the
town most of the time, so she knew people and a lot of history. Our cemeteries are beautiful! Kept up. Come and see them."
Leroy and Ellen Blair of the White County Historical Society visited Nelson Cemetery March 2, 2001. They found 11 tombstones
that were not on the last list. They also made a few minor adjustments in the list. "Due to the depressions and mounds and how
the graves are scattered, I would guess that are hundreds of unmarked graves in this cemetery," Leroy Blair reported. "The dates
on markers do not reflect Georgetown’s age, nor do the ones in Georgetown Cemetery."

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.
