YOUNG CEMETERY

FULTON COUNTY, ARKANSAS

The Young Cemetery is located about five miles west of Salem. Look for the Flint Springs Cemetery sign and take that road from US 62-412 highway. Follow this road until you have to

go right or left. Take the right turn and go about a half mile. You will come to a sharp left turn.

On the right after the turn is the property that the Young Cemetery is located on. Permission is required to enter the property and the cemetery is difficult to access. It is covered with weeds. Only seven stones are readable, and at least 30 more people are buried here. If you have any information on people in this cemetery, please contact us.

The Young Cemetery is old, overgrown with brush and has not been used in about 90 years. There are over 30 graves here, with only 7 marked and readable. The other graves are marked with fieldstones. There are more people buried without markers, or markers made of wood that have rotted away with time.
Lewis Jackson Young first owned the property where the cemetery is located. He sold it to his son, Leonard Jasper Young. The cemetery was probably established by one of these people on their property, hence the name, Young Cemetery.

Only 2 Young's are buried in marked graves -- infant Lizzie, born and died on June 15, 1913, and little Lucy, born February 6, 1906, and died September 30, 1910. Lewis Jackson Young is believed buried here, and undoubtedly there are other Young family members buried in this cemetery.

Pleasant H. Belt was the husband of Elizabeth.

Amey Light Rosier was 46 when she died the next day after giving birth to T. R. (Thomas). Infant Thomas died 6 months later. Amey was the wife of Thomas James (Jim) Rosier. Jim later moved to Texas with his 3 other children.

Some of the names of families buried here are Baker, Belt, Carter, Faulkenbury, Rosier, and Young.

These early people worked hard, had poor lives, and most had little or no money. When they died, they were buried in a nearby location provided by a neighbor or on their own property. They often cut the names into wooden crosses. These families are now well-established, most still live in Fulton County, but after time and several generations, the names and locations of their ancestors are long forgotten.

Most of this information is from Jim Young who has done extensive research into his family.
