Brenda, I find Fletchers buried at DeSoto Cemetery, Pleasant Ridge Cemetery, and Caney Cemetery in "Cemeteries of Marion Co" by Lester & Marian Burnes, but none at Flippin Cemetery. In "Genealogies of Marion Co Families 1811-1900" (1997), I find a family of Fletchers who could have been buried at Flippin because they lived in fairly close proximity. However, that Fletcher family was removed to Baxter Co when it was created in 1873. I would guess that any stones from that early on would have been field stones and that any names/dates/initials chiseled into them would have long ago become illegible if not worn away completely. Maybe I could help more if I had some names and dates.
