Associated with New London Baptist Church. Located Northeast of Strong, Union County, Arkansas. Canvassed this cemetery, October 15, 2003. Janice Holzer [email protected]

Some of the names are from an old cemetery canvass done back in the late '70's, but was helpful in filling in some of the blanks where stones were broken or had disappeared. This is a large, well maintained cemetery, with a chain link fence, covering about 3 acres, but many, many graves are probably unmarked or the markers have long since disappeared. One item of interest about this cemetery; one family (the Thompsons), are buried on a mound elevating it above the rest of the cemetery. This one is very evident, although in the back corners, there appears to be a couple of other raised mounds.

Added the Gilliam and un-named markers belonging to Pooles, June 2005; information provided by Nora M. Johnson.

Updated May 2006 from obituaries ~ June 2009
