**This is a PARTIAL transcription**

Mount Holly Cemetery is located at Broadway and 12th Street (only entrance is from Broadway) and it is on the National Register of Historic Places.

From a brochure (available free to the public at the Bell House in the cemetery): "A four-square-block area was donated to be used as a city cemetery in 1843 by Roswell Beebe

and Senator Chester Ashley. It has become the final resting place of such notable Arkansans that is has earned the nickname "The Westminster Abbey of Arkansas".

Interred here are 10 state governors, 14 state Supreme Court justices, five Confederate Generals, 22 Little Rock mayors, several newspaper editors, military heroes,

physicians and attorneys. The earliest birthdate recorded is that of Peter LeFevre, born in Canada in 1750. The first interment was of William Cummins in April 1843."

For anyone interested in historic Mount Holly Cemetery in Little Rock, we made a trip there over the Labor Day weekend (September 2001) and shot five rolls of film. By no means did we get pictures of all of the tombstones in the two days we visited, but we did get quite a few. I will list the names on the markers we did get just in case anyone is researching these families:
