Goodwin Cemetery

(Ellis Chapel)

Higginson/Walker, Arkansas

The information on the following list was collected by Leroy “Lee” Blair A Member of the Board of Directors White County Historical Society.P.O. Box 637. Searcy AR. 72145

Bill Leach of Turlock California first listed this cemetery in July 1968. At that time the cemetery was known as the Goodwin Cemetery. It was listed in April 2000 by Pearl Elliott for the White County Historical Society. The cemetery is located five miles south of Higginson on the West Side of Highway 11; it is just beyond the Ellis Chapel Methodist Church. I visited the cemetery for the first time on October 17, 2000. Subsequent additions have been made by the Historical Society based on published obituaries.
On December 29, 2006 I visited the cemetery and made a new list comparing the old list with how the cemetery is now. I was unable to find several graves that had been on one or more of the other list. I have noted them after the name. I made the new list by rows, to make it easier to locate a grave. This will give only a general location of a grave as some of the rows do not run straight or go all the way through the cemetery and some stones are worn so much that they are unreadable
Also at the end of this list I have made another list with the names of some people who may be buried at Ellis Chapel Cemetery in unmarked graves.
There is also a list of Military Veterans that are buried in the cemetery
The following abbreviations are used for this list DS = Double tombstone TS = Triple Tombstone FM - Funeral Home Marker
