Pierce Cemetery

Hickory Flat, Arkansas

• Earliest listed grave: 1895
• Last listed grave: Active  
• Arkansas Archeological Survey site #3IN1322

This cemetery was listed for the White County Historical Society for the first time by Leroy Blair after he visited it January 8, 2003.   It is located in Independence County north of Hickory Flat, just over the county line.   He recorded the cemetery after visiting nearby Mason Cemetery for the first time.  To reach Pierce Cemetery, follow Blair’s directions to Mason

Cemetery then continue past Mason about a quarter-mile to a low-water bridge that crosses Big Creek.  The cemetery is on the right.   Blair found it to be “very clean.”    There are 40 graves marked with field rocks with no information on them.  A resident of the area, “Mr. Allgood,” told Blair most of those graves are Pierces.

Blair provided the following directions to Mason Cemetery:  “Take Hickory Flat Road north to Thomas Road and turn right; go to Armstrong Road then turn left (north).  Armstrong Road will lead into Independence County.  The road to the cemetery, I believe, is the first road that turns left after you cross the county line.  The cemetery is located in back of a pump station.  (There are so many small roads in that part of Independence County it is hard to give directions – would be best to ask some one who lives there how to get to the cemetery.)”
