Marcella, Stone County, AR
Evetts Cemetery is a small country cemetery located about a mile and a half south of Marcella, AR on Highway 14. It sits amid the forks of Wallace Creek about a mile off the White River. As you sweep around a wide bend in the road, the cemetery is off to the left in the back of a pasture. Just as the road straightens out (heading to Batesville) look for a farm road to the right. Thats your key to look for a small farm gate on the left in a pasture fence. Open the gate and thread your way back through the pasture towards the left and you will see the cemetery almost immediately (It's a BEAR to see from the highway driving south becasue you have to look back OVER your shoulder!) Here is a photo taken from the hiway, giving you an idea of what the entry looks like. The cemetery is off and to the left.
The cemetery has a fence around
it.. its well trimmed.. and most of the graves are in fair to good condition.
Some stones do definitely show signs of their age, and a few are
now flat on the ground rather than standing. This is a partial list of
the "residents", whose stones I took pictures of on a recent visit.
