In her History of Baxter County (Mountain Home, AR: Mountain Home Chamber of Commerce, 1973), Mary Ann Messick says:

"The Messick Cemetery is located on the Hobart Pitchford place, a few yards off the Tucker Cemetery Road (near the Whiteville junction). [This would be the intersection with Rte #126.] It would have to be one of the oldest in the county. It contains 32 graves, but only two are marked. [Remember, this was in 1973.] They are: Mahala Frizzell ... [and] John W. Messick ... Old Granny Messick -- who was supposedly a witch -- is also buried in the ivy covered grove of gnarled trees and I have been told she periodically haunts the place ... Members of the Lewis and Young families are [also] buried there."
