Dunn Springs Cemetery
From the junction of Highways 7 and 247 south of Russellville, go 
east on Highway 247 for 5.2 miles to the junction of Sweeden Island 
Road. Turn right on Sweeden Island Road and og south for .4 miles to 
junction of Narrow Road. Turn right on Narrow Road and go west for 
1.8 miles. Cemetery is on your left on the west bank of the small 
creek there. The land owner has cleared this land with a bulldozer 
and the cemetery is against the west side of his brush pile. There 
were 13 graves here, all marked with native sandstone markers. None 
of them having names or dates. This cemetery is probably lost now.

I have been told there is a slave buried here that was supposed to 
have belonged to Tom Ferguson. There is a Tom Ferguson listed in the 
1860 Pope County census of Illinois Township. He is listed as a merchant, 
but I did not check the slave census to see if he actually owned any 
slaves. There is a Marie Ferguson, age 35, llisted in the 1870 census 
of Pope County, Arkansas household D-527 in Galla Rock Township.
The Pope County Historical Quarterly did an article on this cemetery 
in Volume 28, Number 4, December 1994, page 32.
