County Farm Hill Cemetery, Lee County, Arkansas

Location: Take Hwy 44 east and at the top of County Farm Hill veer to the left
to the gravel road (225) instead of veering right to go to Bear Creek on the
paved road.  About two miles east on your left you will see a brick mausoleum
that belongs to the Kennedy’s.  There is a dirt road to the right of the
mausoleum that goes into the pasture at the top of the hill.  This cemetery is
located in the woods next to the pasture road.

In the pasture, at the top of the hill is a small cemetery in a chain link
fence.  This is the Reed Cemetery.  About 500 yards up the next hill is another
tiny cemetery that has an old rusted fence around it. This is believed to be the
Anderson Cemetery.

Nancy Apple submitted this cemetery on November 8, 2005. This cemetery is across
from the Reed Cemetery in the woods. Some say it is Eagle’s Nest Cemetery, but
we are not sure. Mrs. Reed said it was where the Kennedy Funeral Home buried
paupers. The part closest to the road could be the pauper’s field and the other
part c ould be Anderson or Eagle’s Nest or another cemetery.  If you know the
name of this cemetery, or if you have any further information about this
cemetery, please contact me.

These graves and at least 30 or 40 more unmarked graves are closest to the
pasture road that runs by the Kennedy Mausoleum.
