Directions to Henry Hunting Shirt's grave in the old Arnett Cemetery: turn left off Hwy 66 going south, which is directly across Hwy 66 from the entrance to the Daniel Boone National Forest office. Go down and cross Redbird River on low water bridge and come out by restrooms built for the trailhead. Walk behind restrooms on left side to old stone walkway toward hillside and then walk up a dirt bike trail and climb about one city block. In the trail the first tombstones are Thomas Arnett Jr. and Willie Arnett, both handmade. About 40 feet below Thomas Arnett Jr.'s tombstone and to the left is an old dead cedar tree and about 50 feet to the left of the tree, is the stone of Henry Hunting Shirt Sizemore. There is a grave to the right of Henry. This is probably his wife, Rachel. She had no visible stone in June 2015. Due to heavy foliage in June 2015, it was not possible to take a GPS reading at Henry Hunting Shirt's grave. The GPS reading at the restrooms down hill from his grave was N37 degrees, 08.400 minutes, West 083 degrees, 35.513 minutes.
Only Henry’s son Willis used the Sisemore spelling of their name, so presumably he made the tombstone. A deed dated March 16, 1871 proves Henry died after that date. A grave beside Henry’s may be his wife Rachel. It has no stone. Their son Willis was in Arkansas when Rachel passed away.
Henry was the son of George “All” Sizemore and Agnes (Shepherd). He was born about 1790 in Tennessee. Henry was given the nickname “Hunting Shirt” because he always wore a fringed hunting shirt.
Henry and Rachel’s children were:
Winnie (Sizemore) Bowling 1816-aft 1900
