Gail & List, I don't remeber the names of the road to Baxter Cemetery, my water bed ruptured and destroyed 2 big note books of info. To get to the Cemetery we went the main road though Kibler tuned at the cute church I think it was Methodist went up and turned right at the sub station then turned left between two brick houses one was a nursery and had pretty plants. Then we went straight the road quit and turned into a lane at the end we found what had been the cemetery.The lady who owns the land told us were to look the grass was 4 =5 ft high and we couldn't see any stones she had told us she thought they had all fallen over. My brother didn't have or it had fallen over but there is a Cooksey listed in a head stone book. Thanks everone for the informaton on Love Cemtery sure a relief to know its being taken care of.

Linda, I will be in Kibler tonight and will see what some of the locals know. I have heard the name Cooksey. If you do not mind give me both his name and a little about the family. I will also put a note in our Genealogical Society bulletin about your interest. We have a listing of Queries in each issue. Need to have your contact information so people who have information can contact you directly. Will let you know what I find out today.

You are right on the directions to the cemetery. 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. Thanks Sharon
