CONERLY (Black) 

Located 2.8 miles north of LA Hwy 38,  off the East Lewiston Road,  at the end of  Brumfield 
Cemetery Road (0.1 of a mile off Lewiston Road), Ward 2, Sec 41 T1S R8E.  (See also 
Conerly-White and Conley.)  It may also be called BRUMFIELD  by some in the area.  On the 
Springfield quadrangle map, it is named Conerly.

On a second visit, I met Mr. and Mrs. Willie Brock, nearby residents, who shared additional 
information with me on this cemetery.  The correct name is Conerly, not Brumfield, and a 
large portion of it is on their property.  Mr. Brock has relatives buried here as indicated below. 
(It is 0.2 of a mile east of his residence, 20127 East Lewiston Road.)
