Arkansas Cemeteries

Rome Cemetery

(aka Old Rome Cemetery)

Clark County, Arkansas

Photos & Transcription Submitted November 2, 2005,  by Shirley & Don Cagle

Section 19, Township 9 South, Range 21 West

The Cemetery is located 6 1/4 miles south of Okolona on Highway 51.

The sign in the picture says Rome Cemetery, which is what I’ve always known it by.

It is Old Rome Cemetery. The other Rome Cemetery on the same road is a black cemetery.

There are many many graves marked with rocks. There are many metal markers where the info is gone.

There are also 2 wooden headstones. The cemetery is fenced and maintained.

Survey done 2005 by Shirley & Don  Cagle

I have photographs of every tombstone in cemetery. **Cemetery Grounds** **Cemetery Sign**
