All rights reserved. http://www.usgwarchives.net/copyright.htm *********************************************************************** Directions: Walnut Grove Cemetery is located in Newport on the west side of Magnolia Street, 4 blocks north of the intersection of Arkansas Highway 367 and Magnolia Street. Inventory completed August 2003 by Rita Grigsby. Jackson County, Arkansas USGenWeb Archives table of contents: http://www.usgwarchives.net/ar/jackson/jackson.html *********************************************************************** Walnut Grove Cemetery, Newport, Arkansas, Section I Continue north on Magnolia Street until you pass the intersection of Magnolia (aka Lockwood) and Daughtery Streets. There will be a circle drive through this part of the cemetery. Turn left at the second part of this drive. Section I is that part of the cemetery north of this last drive, and east of the top part of the drive, beginning just as it starts to curve back south. There are two concrete pads, approximately 2 foot square, that formed a natural dividing line between Section G, from Section I. Section H is that part of the cemetery inside the circle drive. I numbered this section from west to east, because the eastern half of Section I has no gravestones at this time. I also listed the stones from south to north (or left to right as you are facing the inscriptions on the stones). Also, if there were two markers for the same person, I only listed information from the footstone that was in addition to or different from the data from the headstone.
