This cemetery was once located between Earle and Parkin, at the Cross-Crittenden County line, in what was known as old “Organ Grove”. The Isabel family lived on a 40 acre farm lying in the Smithdale community, Tyronza Township of Cross County.

 

To access this area, travel south on a dirt road, towards the railroad track, between Parkin and Shannonville. Cross under the railroad trussel.  According to Marvin Gibson, the grave locations were related to him by Russell Guy, several years ago. The graves have since been plowed over to make way for farming operations.
