Note: There are four names placed in this concrete slab with marbles. I don't know if they are interred here or were living in the area when the slab was poured on 07 Oct 1947. These names are: Anna, Alverado, Mars, Thomas.

Note: Amanda Bell remarried on 21 Mar 1866 in Pope Co. Bk D page 121 to Thomas S. FAUCETT. His name was spelled FOSSETT in the marriage book. Amanda and Thomas S. FAUCETT are interred in Atkins City Cemetery.

Our thanks to Tommy Wade of Atkins for locating and cleaning up this cemetery for us. We would not have found it if he had not taken us to it.
