The cemetery, marked as "abandoned" in the 1968 Jackson County Historical Society cemetery report, is currently maintained and mowed regularly, although burials no longer take place there. Denton Cemetery is visible and accessible from the west side of Arkansas Highway 37, about 1 1/2 miles north from the intersection of Highway 37 and Arkansas Highway 18 in Grubbs. Mr. Williams believes that his great-grandfather Joe L. MOORE was the last person buried at the cemetery. The tombstone for Joe L. MOORE's wife, Mary L. MOORE, was missed in the original inventories. A double tombstone for the MOORE couple was placed by Mr. Willliams and his father a few years after Mr. Moore's death. -- Mark Williamson ************************************************************************
