McDonald Cemetery: Washington County, Arkansas

HOME

McDONALD CEMETERY
Washington County, Arkansas

This is a small rural cemetery. There is a metal fence surrounding the cemetery. A marker near the cemetery entrance reads:
Elev. 1675 ft. Sec. 21 Tws. 14 R 31 W. One acre donated by Abnor G. McDonald, April 12, 1889. First grave opened for Delphia, infant of Allen & Susan Jones. (Note: the name given on the monument, "Abnor", appears on the actual headstone as "Abner", and funeral home records list the Jones infant as "Delpha").

To get there from Fayetteville, AR, take Highway 62 to Prairie Grove. Turn south on Washington County Road #28. Get on County Road 265 south, and then take County Road #29, which is a dirt road. Drive a few miles and then watch for a small white sign on the left reading "McDonald Cemetery". Turn at the sign, and the road will end at the cemetery.

An asterisk (*) denotes individuals listed in funeral home records as being buried in this cemetery, but whose headstones I did not personally see. It doesn't mean that the stones aren't there; it just means that I didn't see them on this particular visit. A question mark by a name or date means that it was probably difficult to read the stone.

This is a nice little country graveyard. It is well-kept and still in use.
