SMITH CREEK CEMETERY
Highway 128
Hot Springs, Garland County, Arkansas

This cemetery is located by Smith Creek Missionary Baptist Church on Highway 128 between Highways 70 and 5 between Benton and Hot Springs.

I have tried to transcribe the names and dates correctly, but there could be errors due to some of the stones being very hard to read.  The cemetery is extremely well kept but has numerous unmarked graves.  Stephen Garner, who is buried here, donated the land for the church and is believed to have donated the land for the cemetery as well.

You can find many of the tombstone photos on findagrave.com
