SUMMERS BAPTIST CEMETERY 
Summers, Arkansas 
(Washington County)

The Summers Baptist Cemetery is located next to the 
Missionary Baptist Church of Summers, Arkansas. It is 
plainly visible on Highway 62. Anyone passing through 
Summers on this major highway should be able to easily 
see the church and the cemetery. 

The town of Summers is located in Washington County, 
west of Fayetteville, Arkansas. It can be found between 
the towns of Lincoln, Arkansas and Westville, Oklahoma 
on Highway 62. 

This cemetery is in excellent condition. It is quite 
well cared-for and is still in use. 

A small stone was found lying low to the ground; this 
stone reads "Summers Baptist Cem. 1952". 

On a number of the stones, the maiden name of women 
appeared in quotation marks.


A few people have two headstones (different stones, same person).

Most of the stones were legible. A few, however, were 
difficult to read.

One grave (Lee Collins) is off to itself in a corner, 
away from all the other graves.
