There are also some unmarked graves.
The Cephas Washburn home stood a few hundred feet northeast of this cemetery.
Washburn purchased this land in 1857 and spent the last years of his life residing
here in Pope County. It was in this house that Edward Payson Washburn, Cephas
Washburn's son, painted the now famous "Arkansas Traveler."
In 1860 Cephas Washburn journeyed to Little Rock where he became ill with pneumonia
and died, thus ending forty years of preaching and teaching on the American
frontier. A few days later Edward Payson also died of pneumonia. Both are buried
in the Mt. Holly Cemetery at Little Rock.
Mrs. Washburn continued to live here until her death on April 19, 1879. She
is buried here in the family cemetery along with other members of the Washburn
family.
The Historical Restoration is a joint effort of the Pope County Historical Association,
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and Green Thumb of the National Farmers Union.
