PARKER-BOYDSTON CEMETERY

MADISON COUNTY, ARKANSAS

"Gone But Not Forgotten"

Transcribed on March 28,2001, by Robert & Rosa Cline

Updated July 25, 2003

Parker Cemetery is located about 3.8 miles north of Kingston. It is located right on Highway 21

It has a chain link fence around it but has no driveway or parking place, so you have to park on the side of the road to visit the cemetery.

From the road it looks smaller than what it really is. As of this date I don't have any obits for these people. Though if anyone out there has any they can share with me or if you would like to contact me to see if I might have happened to get one feel free to do so.
