Directions to cemetery:
Going from the East side of Stong, Arkansas on Highway 82 go east approximately
5 miles. Turn left (north) onto Jones
Lake Road and follow this road for about 2.6 miles and then turn left (north)
onto Phelps Road. This road takes you
by Ebenezer Presbyterian Church and Ebenezer Cemetery. After passing the cemetery and church go
about 1.2 miles and turn right (east) onto Pagan Road (unpaved road) and go
about 1 mile. The Poole cemetery
is located on the left (north) side of the road in a clump of trees. It is
marked with a
new sign that should be visible from the road. There are at least 20 visible graves in this cemetery. Most graves are marked with wooden crosses
with no names. The other graves are as
