Flag Lake Cemetery, Pope County, Arkansas *********************************************************** Submitted by: Lina Boyd Date: 7 Sep 2007 Copyright. All rights reserved. http://www.usgwarchives.net/copyright.htm *********************************************************** Flag Lake Cemetery From the junction of Highways 7 and 247 south of Russellville, go east on Highways 247 for 5.2 miles to Sweeden Island (River) Road. Turn right and go south for 3.9 miles to a stop sign. Turn right on Flag Lake Road and go west for 1 mile. There will be a large oak tree on your left with a turn around. Park here and walk west along a trail for 130 yards. Cemetery is on your right. We counted 55 unmarked graves and there were probably more than that. It was very grown up and many of the graves have sunken badly. Copied about 1997 by C. L. and Lina Boyd. We think that this is a cemetery for blacks. We did not know the name of this cemetery, so gave it the name of the road where it is located. linajaneboyd@hotmail.com Bland, Mary 15 Nov 1844 - 18 Mar 1919 stone is off it’s base.
