This is a partial listing of people interred at this cemetery. I have obits for some of them, if anyone would like a copy. Sometimes there are pictures of the people with the obit. If you don’t find the information on this transcription, go to the Find-A-Grave transcription. There may be more information there. I am trying to update this list about every other month. I will put a * beside those that have been added since the last update.

I live too far away from Jonesboro to actually do any look ups. These listings are made from either obits or data given to me by other family or researchers. I will be more than happy to share with you what information I have on the people listed below, but I cannot do physical look ups. If you would like to send me data on your family or friends buried at this cemetery, I would be more than happy to accept and add the data into my listings.

Please feel free to contact me.
