Lane (Loy) Cemetery, Loy, Madison County, Arkansas *********************************************************** Submitted by: Robert and Rosa Cline Date: 24 Jul 2003 Copyright. All rights reserved. http://www.usgwarchives.net/copyright.htm *********************************************************** "Gone But Not Forgotten" originally transcribed on Dec 29,2001 but didn't type up until July 18, 2003 (with updates) COMPLETE TRANSCRIPTION Driving Directions: Coming from Hwy 412 you will turn onto Hwy 21 like your going to Kingston. You will drive that about 7 miles until you hit Kingston Square. You will go straight and follow Hwy 74 (21 turns into 74 at Kingston) you will drive about 5 miles and the cemetery will be on your right up in a field. There isn't much parking at all...so you'll have to be carefull. If you drive onto Lower Wharton Creek Cemetery you've went to far (so turn around and go back...) Another way from Huntsville is take Hwy 23 out of Huntsville about 4 miles and you will turn to your left onto Hwy 74 you will then drive about 9 miles and the Lane Cemetery will be on your left in a field. You will pass a charcoal plant, and Lower Wharton Creek Cemetery along the way.... If you drive onto Kingston Cemetery then you've gone to far and then turn around and follow the above directions :0) It is said that there are about 10-15 people buried in this cemetery, who once had field rocks as their stones but one of the land owners threw them away to use the field for planting. If anyone knows of who these people are please contact us so we can give them an accurate burial reconiztion. We have taken headstone pictures of just about all the stones out there... and still working on getting the rest... so if anyone would like to request a scanned picture just contact us. I have tried listing all the people out there in an alphabetic order before the transcriptoins, sometimes I do leave people out (no meaning to) so if you are looking for someone and they aren't listed at first scroll down through the transcriptions and see if they are there. When I did this transcription I tried speaking with a few people who have given me added data and that is included in ( ), I know there are still many out there in unmarked graves...so will be trying to find thier identities before my next update. We have tried to include added data as we found it or as people have told us. Under the transcriptions anything in ( ) is stuff we either know about that person from our personal research, stuff off the internet, or from an obit. So please only use the "extra" stuff as a guide line for your own research. Unless they are our family members then we will not be responsible for the accuratcy of the information, (since you don't usually know where the person who got it before you got it from. ) We have tried to read the stones as accuratly as possible trying to read even the poems and inscriptions on the bottom. So if anyone knows of anyone buried out there that isn't on the list please contact us so we can accuratly document them.
