Early in the 1900s, the land for this cemetery for blacks was given by Mrs R P McGregor. In recent years, her grandson, Dale McGregor, gave an additional small plot of land. The grounds are maintained by the Ash Grove Cemetery Association.
Before this was established as a black cemetery, some of the earlier white residents were buried there. Some of these graves were not marked or the stones have been lost. The names of those known to have been buried here are included ...
This cemetery is located about a mile south of Cotton Plant, close to the old right-of-wat of the old M & NA railway. Legal description: East part of the Southeast (SE1/4) Quarter of Section 17, T4N, R2W.
The inventories were made by the Ash Grove Cemetery Association and Juanita Wright ... and by Shelby Crafford and Jeff Davis ...
