CURTIS CEMETERY, BETWEEN FALLSVILLE AND SWAIN, NEWTON COUNTY, ARKANSAS *********************************************************** Submitted by: Rosa Cline Date: 21 Feb 2007 Copyright. All rights reserved. http://www.usgwarchives.net/copyright.htm *********************************************************** "Gone But Not Forgotten" Original Listing March 24, 2001 UPDATED October 8, 2006 This is a COMPLETE listing of people interred at this cemetery. My husband originally hand transcribed this cemetery in March 2001. He, along with our cousin from California Jackie Harlan, went out Oct 8, 2006 and updated and photographed all stones at this cemetery. Below is that updated data. I have made an alphabetical listing before the actual transcriptions below. Beside each name I have noted if I have an obit ( obit ) , a headstone photo ( hd pic ) , or an actual photo ( pic ), or a newspaper article ( art ) for that person. Below that listing is the actual transcription of the stones. This listing is in the order in which the photos were taken. So it will kind of give you an idea of stones beside one another. If you would like me to share with you, or you share extra data please feel free to contact me. However, please have the respect to not contact me to complain when I don't have what you request. I will be more than happy to share with you what information I have on the people listed below . If you would like to send me data on your family or friends buried at this cemetery, I would be more than happy to accept and add the data into my listings. Please feel free to contact me. I hope this listing helps these people to always be remembered. To try and help folks to always be remembered when they have gone on before us is the main reason I do what I do. And helping folks find family or friends in the process is a good plus as well. There are approximately 75-80 graves marked with rocks only.
