Old Smith, now known as Causey Cemetery

By June England Tuck and Deborah Tuck Young

August 2002

Cemetery is located in Dike community. Go east from Sulphur Springs, on I
30, turn left on 69 to the Dike community. Cemetery is located on the Ed
Bennett land in Dike.

In trying to locate the Old Smith cemetery, I was already thinking it
might be what is now known as Causey. Barbara McCarley, who grew up in
the Dike area, and I talked to several people in the Dike area, only one
person knew, Robert Ellery Johnson who lives in the Ash Grove community,
north of Dike. When asked if he knew of the Old Smith cemetery, he said
it was now known as Causey but in the early years, when he was a young
man, it was called the Smith cemetery. Thanks to Mr. Johnson and Eli
Hargrave, we know the burial location of the first Voss family.

If anyone knows for certain that they have family buried in this
cemetery, please email me and I will add the information to this cemetery
page.
