OLD MIDWAY CEMETERY
Lakeway, Marion County, Arkansas
Submitted September 17, 2005, by Traci
This Cemetery contains the remains of those
deceased who were previously buried in Billings,
King I and Yocham Bend Cemeteries
which are now covered by Bull Shoals Lake.
Reinterment was made under the direction of the Army Corps of Engineers,
US Government. This plot of land was
deeded for this purpose from the Cowdrey
Estate, January 27, 1950 and was
incorporated as Old
Midway Cemetery on April 17, 1990.
It was dedicated in memory of Margaret (Peggy) Quinn, May 2003.
To get to the cemetery, take Highway 14 to
Yellville. Stay on Highway 14 and go
through Summit. At the stop sign in
Summit (by Allen's Grocery store), go straight approximately 10 miles. You will be at Lakeway. The turn is on the right side. It will be the 2nd CCC Access road you
see. The sign is brown. This is also Welcome Ridge Rd. Approximately 10 miles on the right is the
cemetery. If you get to Pine Mountain
Fire Department at the cornet of Yocham Bend Road and the road to Flippen, you
have gone too far. This route is
completely paved. It is a winding road
and has many hills so be careful. Watch
out for deer and other animals. They
seem to like the roads around the area.
The Women's Auxillary Group from Pine Mountain
generally is in charge of the upkeep of this Cemetery. Once a year, usually around Memorial Day
Weekend, there is a reunion type gathering at the cemetery. It is a weekend many look forward to and
enjoy. The Women's Auxillary spends
many hours at the cemetery cleaning the grounds for everyone to enjoy.
Facing
the cemetery, section A is on the far left and follows to the far right in
order. The diagram at the Cemetery is
upside down and is very confusing to follow.
There are a number of burial sites marked as Unknown. The tombstones are very old and made mostly
of old wood or large rocks. If these
were ever marked in any way, it cannot be read.
