Sharon, I appreciate your article here on Baxter Cemetery. Let me in invite you to come to one of the Crawford County Genealogical Society meeting and tell us about it. We meet the second Tuesday each month at the Alma Public Library at 1:00 pm. Hope you can make it sometime.

I dont remember the road name either but think it may be Arkansas street. There are several old timey fenced in graves with the old wrought iron fence if no one has tore them down, you can tell they do gun practice and lots of drinking there cans everywhere, there is a small road in the middle of the cemetery as it is a pretty good size cemetery when it was taken care of , on the right side of the lane is the Gunn family which owned the land and lots of property in Van Buren, they were nice new kind of looking headstones on the other side is some real old headstones i believe the oldest one i saw was dated 1866. Around the 1920's there was an epidemic of fever in the bottoms and there were lots of people buried there but headstones have been damaged and thrown around. The cemetery is listed in the " History and Headstones" book but not all buried there are in the book.
