This is what my friend e-mailed back to me. If she can get some more info. I will get it to you.

This is the information in our book. It was written 30 years ago so there's no wonder it's hard to find. We have not GPS'd this one. It is on private property. I will e-mail Marsha and check with her because I believe she may have the name of the current landowner.

Old AR Hwy. 68 is now US 412. Turn south on Robinson Road east of Siloam Springs. It is located in either Section 11, Twp. 17 North, Range 32 West or S14-T17N-R32W. The Yell Cemetery Rd. intersects with it. Somehow in my memory, I'm believing the entrance is located about 1/2 to 1/4 mile before you get to the Yell Cem. Rd. to the east. I do remember there being a gate to it but it was locked when we were there.

Pat Perona also knows where this cemetery is located and the people who live around there. I'll try and get her phone number later.

In our deed records we do not have a Mark Smith. But we do have an Ann Smith selling property in Benton County. The land may have been purchased under his other given name.

If there are soldiers buried there from WWI, then we might be able to find some references to the cemetery in the Obituaries book by going through the obits from 1917-1918.
