Arkansas Cemeteries
Cassville Cemetery
Cassville
Community, Newton County, Arkansas
"Gone But
Not Forgotten"
Transcribed June
19,2002
This cemetery is located right off of Highway 21/16, located between Fallsville and Edwards
Junction. If you go from Edwards
Junction, you will turn to the right onto the dirt road, and you will see
Cassville Church, and the cemetery is there beside it. (The dirt road is closer
to Edwards Junction than it is to Fallsville.)
Many of the unmarked graves have been "marked" with a
simple stone with a last name only or the name if known, so probably not too
many gaves are going to be here that are unmarked. I have a headstone picture
for all stones (readable or not) so if you would like a copy of one contact
us and we will scan it for you. In the transcription done in 1986, they say
there are 53 unmarked graves. I think they were counting the foot markers, for
most of the graves have small standing stones that have no markings on them,
but they are the foot markers, and most of the "unmarked" graves have
now been marked with small stones.
I have made an alphabetical listing at first to show everyone
there, then under the index is the actual transcription on the stones. If I
know anything about the person I have added additional information under the
transcription, and I will put this in ( ).
I have a few obits of the people there, so if you have family out there,
and would like to get in touch with me for additional information, or to
correct information here, please feel free to contact
us.
