This is one of the
oldest cemeteries in
The cemetery remains
active. A sign has been erected on the north side of the church, naming the
site as a (unofficial) historical landmark. Relatives of people who are buried
here continue to maintain this cemetery through voluntary donations. Several
years ago, a fund was established to provide maintenance for
The church itself has
been the victim of two separate accidents in which vehicles have left the
highway and collided with the building. Since no repairs have been made to the church
building during the past several years, and it being in desperate need of
restoration, a Homecoming Fundraiser was held in April 2002. The structure had
shifted from its foundation, causing moisture damage, and was in immediate need
of repairs in order to slow deterioration. After several inspections, it was
determined that the church could not be saved. It has yet to be decided what to
do with the money that was raised, but perhaps go towards reconstructing the
building, using what good materials might be salvaged from the present church.
It would be quite a large and costly project for someone to undertake. If you
would be interested in contributing towards the reconstruction of the church,
or maintenance of the cemetery, donations can be made to Gibson Bayou Funds,
c/o Jack Stepp, 755 Crook Road, Earle, AR 72331. (Note: Funds were raised and
with the help of several volunteers, a new replicated church was constructed in
2004. The project was headed by Jack Stepp. Thank you to everyone who donated their
time and money towards this project.) Since the building of the new church, the
building has once again been damaged, and since repaired, by a semi-truck that
left the highway and crashed into the steps.
Pat Brown started
copying the stones and markers in 1967 and has added and made corrections in
the years since. She and Debbie Yates have been working together since 2000 to
complete and correct the entries. Numerous unmarked graves have been
discovered and added.

√LIPE, Doskey J. – NS – Born Aug 1881 Chester
or Henderson Co., TN – Died Mar 26, 1940. This grave is unmarked but most
likely buried here. He died 3 years after his father, Solomon Henry Lipe. He
was the husband of Lelia Kemp, daughter of James Monroe Kemp and Catheryn
Patterson of Weakley Co. TN. The 1900
census of Chester County, TN shows Soloman H. Lipe, born Aug 1860 TN, Martha A.
Lipe, born Jan 1861 TN, 3 births, 2 living,
Doskey J. Lipe, son, age 18, born Aug 1881, Rosa Lipe, dau, age 13, born
1887 TN. In 1910 Henderson Co., TN,
Doskey J. and Lela Lipe had been married 7 years. Lela had given birth to two
daughters, both living; Ruby age 4, and Guinn age 1 and 6 months. In 1920,
Doskey J. Lipe, age 37, and Lelia Lipe, age 35, were living in Earle on Barton
Street, Crittenden County. Doskey was a farmer and owned his own farm. They had
two daughters; Ruby age 14 and Guinn age 11. Ruth Wren had died by this time.
By 1930, Doskey age 48 and Lela age 45, were living in Crittenden County in
Jackson Twp, on James Mill Road. Solomon Lipe was widowed, age 69, and living
in the household with Doskey and Lela Lipe. No daughters remained in the
household. By 1940, only Lelia Lipe remained. She was widowed and living in
Crittenden County, Crawfordsville. A 35 year old lodger, Carrie Mowery, a
school teacher, was living with her. Ruby Lipe married George Henry Bumb. She
died in Hot Springs, Garland County, AR, on January 2, 2000. She was returned
to Crittenden Memorial Park in Marion for burial.
√LIPE, Martha Ann Stanfield – NS – Born Jan
1861 Tennessee – died between 1920-1930 Crittenden County, Arkansas.
Martha Ann Stanfield Lipe was the wife of
Solomon Henry Lipe. She died in Arkansas, most likely Crittenden County, some
time between 1920 and 1930. A death record has not been located for her, but
since she would have died in Crittenden County, it would be assumed that she
was buried in Gibson Bayou Cemetery where her husband was later buried. Rose
Lipe, daughter of Solomon and Martha Lipe may also be buried here, She was 35
and single, living in the household with her parents in Crittenden County,
Black Oak Twp, at the time of the 1920 census. She can no longer be found by
the time of the 1930 census, nor has a marriage record been located. On the
1900 census of Chester County, Tennessee, it was shown that she had been born
in TN in 1887.

Susie had been married before and the children, at least Lillian, did not
