All rights reserved. http://www.usgwarchives.net/copyright.htm *********************************************************** The following note is transcribed from "Hempstead County, Arkansas Cemeteries - Book 5" PROVIDENCE CEMETERY is reached by turning down a one- lane dirt road on the right off County Road 161 which begins at Providence Baptist Church on (Ark.) Hwy 29S. A sign on the left on CR 161 points the way to the cemetery. The cemetery is on land deeded by William M. and A. E. Duke to F. M. Martin, deacon of the Baptist Church of Providence . . . a certain piece of land wherein the Church House now stands . . . SE quarter of Section 18 Township 14 Range 24 containing three acres. Deed was recorded in Book 7 page 72 on August 3, 1870. According to information in Pioneer Faith, History of Missionary Baptist Assoications. . . the Columbia Association was ten years old in 1862, and in 1866 the minutes note that a district meeting was set for Providence Church, Hempstead County. Thus, Providence was surely organized by 1860. In 1876 when land was transferred from James W. Finley to Patrick Foster Finley by deed, there was a reservation: Two acres for Providence and one acre for School House. The cemetery may have been on the acre provided for the school house. When cemeteries were listed in 1968 by the Home Demonstration Clubs, the following was recorded about this cemetery: Cemetery originated before Civil War 83 or 84 years ago. The church building has been moved three times. Many unmarked graves. The church was relocated on Hwy 29S in 1944.
