Hello, I have been watching you struggle with your problem. Have you checked rootsweb.com/~arwhite? There is a lot of info on most of the cemeteries in White Co. I live in Little Rock and was born in Searcy. In fact I was there today going through some files at the court house and checking a couple of cemeteries. The rootsweb site may be of some help.
