Lone Rock, Baxter

The
original survey of this cemetery was made on July 7, 1988, by Emmit Dolan
Acklin. Even though there has not been
any addition burials, the survey has been revised since then to include
additional information collected from various sources and the inclusion of one
additional recently erected marker.
The Cockrum
Cemetery is on private property off Baxter County Road 111 a short distance
from the Lone Rock for which the community was named. The last recorded burial was in the late 1920’s. There are 12 marked graves in the cemetery
and it appears as if there are probably several other graves based upon
depressions in the ground or placement of field stones that had served as grave
markers.
Additional
information was gleaned from printed obituaries or from descendants of the
families, and that information is included, but placed inside parentheses. That includes one death date that doesn’t
exactly agree with the inscription.
