(Destroyed)
Names and dates provided by Pat Isabel Brown
Location provided by Marvin Gibson
(descendents of Hiram and Rhoda Mason Isabel)
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.
