Leola Cemetery, Grant Co, AR *********************************************************** Submitted by: Lou Ann Lunsford Date: 23 May 1998 Copyright. All rights reserved. http://www.usgwarchives.net/copyright.htm *********************************************************** PART 1 This is definitely a walk-though listing and will be entered exactly as I have copied it. This cemetery is recorded by Sheridan E.E. Club on April 17, 1968 so I am sure there are many additions by now, but I don't have those to send you, just this one publication. Note: THESE DO NOT ALWAYS HAVE THE SURNAME FIRST You will see what I mean by this being posted as it is written. Even the unmarked graves are noted and may help you to figure out a missing family member that you know is probably buried there. Also as before I will note my family members by *** notation and if you have any connections, don't hesitate to let me know. I will be glad to share info. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ***Emmeline D. Williams Harrison, 1848-1928.
