I have found another small family cemetery but do not know the name. I found it by accident.

 

If you are going North on Hwy 55 from West Memphis, take exit 14. Go up and over the interstate and get on the service road heading south, along the side of Hwy 55. After you pass the camp grounds look to your right there is a small clump of trees in the middle of a farm field. This is where I found the headstone. There may be more headstones but I wasn't prepared to go through a cemetery, as I had shorts on and the grass was very high.  I'd gotten spooked by an animal resembling a snake, so I just got the information from what I could see where I was standing.

 

 

One large upright headstone with these 3 names on it. 

 

     surname  "Mann" across the top

 

father

John C.

Apr. 17, 1821

Feb. 2, 1892

 

mother

Mary M.

Oct. 14, 1833

Feb. 20, 1914

 

daughter

Mary E.

Nov. 3, 1855

June 4, 1896

 

Mary E. must not have married because there wasn't another surname on the headstone.
