Crittenden County, Arkansas-GIBSON BAYOU CEMETERY Updated

GIBSON BAYOU CEMETERY
Updated transcriptions, 2000, by Deborah Lunsford Yates.  Entires marked with * are updated
transcriptions; entries marked with ** are additions.  Notes in parenthesis are my own.
Many newer graves have been added since the original transcription in 1967, a number of which
have no markers, or only funeral home markers, and have since become unidentifiable.  
Many stones have been added to the older graves, a few of the older stones have since been 
replaced with newer stones, some with changed or updated inscriptions.  Sometime between
these original transcriptions in 1967 and those in 2000, a number of the stones were
vandalized and destroyed, particularly those along the west side of the highway.  Many 
of the earlier stones no longer exist.  Gibson Bayou Cemetery was established in 1865 and is 
the site of Gibson Bayou Church, which was originally located on the north bank of Gibson
Bayou.  This cemetery remains active and was recently named as a Historical Landmark.
Relatives of people who are buried here continue to maintain this cemetery through 
volunteer donations.  Gibson Bayou Cemetery is located three miles north of Earle on US Highway 149.
