Hello Shirley, Here are the Dirrections TO THE SULPHUR SPRINGS CEMETERY (FROM LESLIE TO MARSHALL). 1. Travel north on HWY 65 toward Marshall from Leslie,Arkansas. 2. Pass the Cove Creek an the big bend where Simpkins Farm is. 3. When you are nearing the end of the long lane there is a large garage and house in back you will see as you approach the little road you will need to slow down to turn into. This big building has a sign that says "Williams Welding Shop" .There is another sign that reads "Drunk Drivers Kill". 4. Right before you get to this garage is a county road that turns to to the right ( east) . This will be COUNTY ROAD 103. 5. Travel on this little dirt road and across a flat bottom bridge about 3/10 miles to a FOUR WAY STOP. 6. Turn right at the four way stop. 7. Travel down this road about 3/10 miles and you will see a big metal sign that says "Sulphur Springs Cemetary" on the left. There will be a black mail box on the right of the sign. 8. Turn Left by the sign and stop for the large chain across the road. 9. I don't beleive that it is locked, but in case it is, the walk up the little hill is about 1/10 mile to the Sulphur Springs Cemetery . Marinda Ps. OR you can: Turn into Leslie off HWY 65 , cross the bridge and go down town Lelsie and turn left on Main Street and go 1.5 miles and turn left on a little dirt road. Cross little muddy yellow wet branch . Cross second branch with a rock bed. At 1.7 miles there will be a black mail box on left and across from it on the right will be the Sulphur Springs Cemetery sign. Turn right and stop for the chain across the road. go up the hill to cemetery. Have fun! :] By the way I have a question about the HORN CEMETERY???? .... just about directly across the road from the Welding Building there on HWY 65 is another cemetery. The HORN CEMETERY. There is NO sign for it and the field has a gate that has a chain that is locked. I would like to know If Dewayne Treat had to get the Key and permission when he took Rick and I up there when he put a head stone up for Robert Ragland??? We tried to go up and look around and it was locked. Thanks.

There is a tombstone in the Marshall Cemetery that says: Green Berry Baker b. Jan 1873 d. 1934. (Or at least that is what the cemetery book transcription says.) Green Berry was married to Maggie E. Colbert 15 Oct 1896 in Searcy Co. and the marriage is recorded in Searcy county Marriage Book E, p. 95. Also in the Cemetery book is the comment that Green Berry was the son of Jasper Newton Baker and Lucy Jane Greenhaw. Jasper Newton Baker is buried in the Marshall Cemetery and his info is: Jasper Newton Baker b. 22 Jan 1849 in Searcy Co.; d. 5 Nov 1940 in Searcy Co. He was the son of Zebediah Baker and Hannah Grinder And he married Lucy Jane Greenhaw about 1871. If you want more info on this family please let me know. Also Maggie Colbert's parents were probably Charles P. & [?] Colbert. He is next door to Green Berry Baker & Maggie in the 1900 Searcy Co. Census. Charles P. was b. Nov. 1853 in GA. (Maggie was b. in MO.) Colbert was a preacher and moved about some. He was also a newspaper man in Marshall for a while. JJJ

Hello All, In regards to a previous post I made BENJAMIN POTTER and gave his household and dates that it was listed in the Census of Searcy county. PLEASE MAKE A CORRECTION TO THE YEAR DATE OF THE CENSUS FOR BENJAMIN POTTER. "The CORRECT DATE of the census was 1860." Sorry about that! It was hard to read the date on the print out. Thanks Kelly for helping me find that mistake. Marinda Holliman _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com
