I knew I would find this article sometime. "Obituarties of Washington County, Ar. Volume One 1841-1892 Compiled by Barbara P. Easley (Heritage Books). INMAN, Mary - This item is headed "The First Grave in Prairie Grove". In the summer of 1830 Mrs. Mary Inman, a cultured lady from Tennessee, traveling through this country with her brother, tarried a few days with acquaintances in this neighborhood, journeyed to Cane Hill, where she sickened and died. On her death bed she requested to be carried back to the prairie and buried amongst the flowers. The neighbors had met here to raise a house for school and church purposes. They saw horsemen approaching across the prairie, they supposed them hunters, a nearer approach revealed the spade and pick. Some one dead, who could it be? Death was a stranger in this land then. The facts understood, the Rev. Andrew Buchanan, who was proprietor of the premises, located the place for the grave, about 90 yerds northwest of the house being erected - is now in the southwest corner of the cemetery. During the afternoon the corpse, accompanied by a few friends arrived. Rev. Andrew Bucha! nan performed the religious rites. (Fayetteveille Democrat 1/29/85)
