NE Arkansas Cemetery Research NE Arkansas Cemetery Research - Where Archeology meets Genealogy! Feel free to share info on cemeteries in NE AR, esp.those forgotten and endangered.

The AAS station at ASU is now recording all cemeteries in our 15 county area. Some of these have totally disappeared due to farming, commercial and industrial practices. Many others are seriously endangered. We are working closely with area genealogical and historical societies to locate and record every cemetery possible as an archeological site in order to preserve a permanent record of their lo

cations and contents. Thanks to genealogists and family historians, we have started visiting some of the most endangered cemeteries in Craighead County. If not for our informants, we would never have been able to locate some of these remote sites. Sadly some of these cemeteries have already disappeared. Because of the sheer numbers of those needing to be recorded, this task will be an ongoing project for years to come. There are over 100 cemeteries that have been reported to us by area residents and historians in Craighead County alone. We plan to visit each one, gathering GPS data, location data, plus the number of graves in each cemetery that can be determined - both marked and unmarked. This information will be permanently recorded with the Arkansas Archaeological Survey. We welcome any information you may have on any cemetery in Craighead County, but also those in Clay, Crittenden, Cross, Fulton, Greene, Independence, Izard, Jackson, Lawrence, Poinsett, Randolph, Sharp, St. Francis and White counties. Information will be posted under NOTES on this page as time allows.
