STELLE CEMETERY (ALSO CALLED SHAEFFER-STELLE) WASHINGTON COUNTY, ARKANSAS Located in Section 3, Township 15N, Range 30W approximately 1 and 1/4 miles east of U. S. Highway 71 in the vicinity of Fayetteville Municipal Airport (Drake Field) and about 1 mile south of the junction of Willoughby Road (Ark. Highway 156) and Wilson Hollow Road. The cemetery is rectangular about 30 x 50 feet, enclosed by a wire fence and on a hill close to West Fork River just off Shaeffer Road. The 1980 edition of the street map of Fayetteville identifies this family graveyard as “Shaeffer Cemetery” but a bronze plate on the gatepost is inscribed, “Stelle Graveyard - 1872.” The Flashback states that John Stelle was a pioneer miller in Washington County.
