Cavins Hill Cemetery, Lee County, Arkansas

Location: This cemetery is located behind and between the Christian Church and
Stivers Anderson’s home in western part of Marianna.  This cemetery can be
reached by going to the end of Burke Street where it turns west.  You must cross
the yard of the last house there and enter the woods and travel approximately
100’ to the east.  A chain link fence should be visible.

On October 13, 2005, Jane Hartley submitted this listing taken from an old
newspaper article. These names are denoted by an (*) asterisk below.  Nancy
Apple surveyed this cemetery on October 26, 2005. She found stones for all of
the names from the newspaper article and added several names to the list. If you
