Hi Shelly, That will be great. I am not sure if they are in a larger lot under the name of John W. Jones or have a lot of their own. I believe it is a lot of their own. I am looking for Emma (Masterson) Jones who was born in 1873 and died in 1909. I do not have complete dates for her, only years. She was the wife of William M. Jones. The other person I am looking for is William M. Jones. He was born 5 Aug. 1875 in Searcy and died 7 May 1959 in Miami and buried in Searcy. Both should be in Oak Grove Cemetery. William was married 3 times so there may be two other wives. Their names were Claudia (Williams) Jones and Alice (Bunch) Jones. I do not have any dates for them or where they may actually be buried. Emma and William are my main concerns at this time. If you are able to find them, can you take a picture of their headstones besides telling me where in the cemetery they are located? I don't know if you can take decent pictures up there this time of year. Thanks so much for your offer. My husband and I really appreciate your offer.

I have printed and I put this in my glovebox so I will have it handy when in Searcy sometime. I have to warn you that the surveyor who listed this cemetery is the best and most determined. If he didn't find it...it is unlikely that I will. I will look and I'll have my dad help me. This cemetery is so so so large and old it is very possible that a headstone that was once there is no longer, if one was ever placed, even if they could afford it. I just don't know. The cemeteries around here are full of unmarked old graves. We even have one old cemetery, unkempt and in the very rural country, that was destroyed by bush hogging (this is an extreme, but just to let you know what happens over time). I will take my camera and I'll let you know when I look. I wish you the best in your hunt.
