McPherson Cemetery
Saline County, Arkansas
Surveyed September 29, 2001, and again in 2007, by Patti Vance Hays
Located on Salt Creek Road off Highway 5. From Benton, Highway 5 to Salt Creek Road, turn right and go approximately 2 miles. The cemetery is on the right side of road.
I have obituaries for the ones with a + at the end which I would be willing to share if you just send me an e-mail.
My own comments will be shown with brackets [] before and after. Please contact me regarding any questions or comments. I have made every effort to input this information correctly but please let me know if you have any additions or corrections.
Some of the names are linked to their tombstone photograph -- click on the name to see the photograph. Most of the tombstone photos may be found on findagrave.com. The link to Rootsweb WCP is the link to my Rootsweb World Connect Project site. If you should find an error on this page or my Rootsweb WCP or a link does not work, please email me as soon as possible.
The tombstone photographs are copyrighted by Patti Vance Hays. You may use them for your personal use but not for publication in any medium. Many of the tombstone photos are rather large files and may take a few seconds to load if you are using dialup.
