Transcriptions & Notes
Survey made of Gibson Bayou Cemetery, Sept. 1988
By: Paige and Pauline (Polly) Miller
“We
tried to finish the survey that Pat Isabell Brown made in 1967-68, by adding
the markers that have been put down since 1967-68, also with the burials since
then. It is possible that a few could
have been duplicated, but better to have twice than NOT AT ALL!! We are sorry if any have been left out, we
tried very hard not to do that. We also
are sorry if any mistakes have been made in dates or spellings as some were
very hard to read. It is our wish that
someone will carry on this tradition of up-dating the Cemetery Markers every
few years, since this is one of our oldest cemeteries in Crittenden Co., Ark.
and the first Survey was made in 1967-68 by Pat Isabel Brown who put in a lot
of hard work by doing this, a “labor or love”.
Our many thanks to Pat !!

The
following information was also added:
This
list of names was found recently in some older pages in Marion, Ark. Library –
main Library for Crittenden County, Spring of 1995. At this time we do not know who typed them up
in 1968, but they are not listed in the names of people buried in the Cemetery
when Pat Isabelle BROWN did her survey in 1968.
Maybe these are people she found out from their families they were
buried there and not have had markers at graves ??

Added
info. On the N. M. SHANNON listed above.
He was Nick SHANNON, a brother of Samuel SHANNON. Samuel was a grandfather of a former Earle
resident, Reba (VERNON) PLUMMER. This
info. came from a genealogy of the
SHANNON family, according to Romana VERNON BUTLER who is a great-granddaughter
of Samuel SHANNON. A marker was at his
gravesite, Nick SHANNON, but deteriorated so badly that no marker seems to be
at his grave in 1995.
