Old Cave Springs Cemetery, Cave Springs, Benton Co AR Contributed for use in the USGenWeb Archives December, 2002 by Shannon Seyler ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 1st Baptist Church 322 S Main St Cave Springs, AR 72718 Benton Co This small cemetery is located on the grounds of the First Baptist Church of Cave Springs, Arkansas. There are approximately 40 stones here, including fieldstones and other unmarked stones. The cemetery and church can be found directly on Highway 264 East in Cave Springs. If you've found the church, you've found the cemetery, which is plainly visible from the highway. At present, the church is situated across the street from a store called Stuff Mart. The lawn was neatly mowed. Some stones were rather weather-beaten and damaged. Some stones were flat against the ground, almost grown into the lawn. However, a number of other stones were well cared for and readable. This transcription was conducted on December 14, 2002 by Randal and Shannon Seyler.
