Add PhotosThis old cemetery is located between El Paso and Floyd, 18 miles from Searcy. In addition to the county's largest landowner of 1840 and other notables, it is believed that White County's first judge and postmaster is buried here.
The following directions were provided by White County Historical Society member Shelly Keech, who visited the site in December 2000: "To reach the cemetery, at the intersection of highways 305 and 31 at Floyd, take El Paso Road. Follow the paved road until it becomes gravel. Keep going. Look to the left until you see a clump of trees. (They look like they were purposely left there...they were).
The cemetery is inside of the trees. There is an older white frame house (the old Choate place) on the right." Keech was photographing the cemetery when she and family members were asked to leave because deer hunters were in the area. Leroy Blair, another Historical Society member, found a risk of another kind when he and his wife Ellen visited the site May 14, 2001. "I had on a light-colored shirt," he wrote in his report, "and when I got back to the car my shirt was almost black. I would guess we got well over 100 ticks off my shirt alone. I was covered in tick bites from head to toe." He said he would return in the fall when the leaves and ticks are gone. Blair could locate only two of the graves listed.
He added the following to Shelly Keech's directions: "As a reference point, on the right of El Paso Road, there is what looks like an old store building but is now a hunting club headquarters; the cemetery is directly across the road from this building, in the field about 300 yards, under the trees."
