Some of this information might be helpful to everyone looking for cemetery information in Marion Co.. Go to the Marion Co web page http://www.rootsweb.com/~armarion. There, under Cemeteries, you'll find descriptions of the locations of the known cemeteries in Marion Co. In order to translate this information to the road system, you should stop at the Marion Co courthouse in Yellville and get a current road map of the county (they'll mail one to you if you address your request to the Office of the County Judge). This will be a great help, believe me. (And you still may have to resort to a good atlas such as DeLorme's "Arkansas Atlas and Gazetteer" www.delorme.com for some of the "pig trails" you'll have to find and negotiate. "Cemeteries of Marion Co" by Lester and Marian Burnes is the best we have. Actually, it's all we have It's not the greatest, but it's lots better than nothing. Lester and Marian tramped the hills and dales and woods around here for around 20-30 years collecting as much information as they could find (and/or read). Their book was published in 1989. Lester was born in 1905 and died in 1997. Marian was born in 1906 and is still with us at 95. They weren't real young when they started this project let alone when they finished it. The publisher took matters into his own hands and the resulting book is nowhere near what Lester and Marian had thought it would be. Partially as a result of the things the publisher did (and didn't do), Marian has been adding pages of corrections and additions to every volume. Some are stapled to the appropriate pages, some are in file folders. She totally gave up trying to include these in the index, which I can readily understand. I've talked with Dan Duren, owner of Burns Funeral Home in Marion Co. (he inherited thru his mama's side of the family). He tells me he has the equivalent of no records - certainly not as far back as most folks are trying to search today. Some *may* go back to around 1940 or 1950. Individual cemeteries do not have their own records around here. (Remember, folks, we got our first paved roads in the 1940s, our first mostly county-wide electric power in the 1950s, and some folks still haul their water today.) Hope this is useful to some of you. Mysty shakerag@mtnhome.com
