The easiest way to get to Hughes Cemetery is to take Highway 1 north out of Forrest City about 3 miles north of town you will turn right onto Good Hope Road you can only turn right. Follow this road it will become gravel and when you come to the T in the road the cemetery is on the right both new and old. I have placed all the information together for both the old and the new cemetery because people are buried in both the cemeteries. And it was just easier for me.
This cemetery was denoted by Mr. Hughes somewhere around 1870. There was a family named Henderson's passing
though around this time the same time as the flu epidemic and there was a lot of people dying. And this family like many
others had no money. Mr. Henderson asked Mr. Hughes if he could bury his daughter on the corner of Mr. Hughes land.
That is how this cemetery got started. The first two people buried here are:
Mary Henderson Child and Mary's brother: John Henderson Child
Sometime after that Mr. Hughes then donated the land where Hughes Cemetery now is. This is and always has been a free cemetery the only thing the keepers ask for is a $25.00 per year upkeep cost. There are a lot of old families here and no one it paying for them so if you find a family member here maybe you can give a denotation on the family's behalf.
I could not type all this information without error. Please check anything you find here.
