I really like the name of this town.
Some of the graves of the War of 1812 veterans in Arkansas will never be found, but, nearly 700 of their names are inscribed n on the War of 1812 Memorial Fountain erected by the U.S.D. 1812 at the State Capitol. This is the largest listing of the war's veterans on any U.S. monument.
The other residents of Clark County, Arkansas, already marked include William Hart and Wiseman Moore. The location of other graves in the county is an ongoing investigation and include Edwin Crosslin, William Adcock, Jacob Wingfield, John Caruthers (who also served in the American Revolution) and Walter Crow.
The dedication team was comprised of U.S.D. 1812 State President and Pine Bluff Simon Bradford Chapter President Jerrie Jones Townsend; SAR State President Charkes McLemore; U.S.D. 1812 State Markers Chair Sheila Beatty-Krout; Patricia McLemore Baseline-Meridian President; Bobbie Lovell, Baseline Meridian Markers Chair and her husband, Dale Lovell, GSW 1812.
Keep On Marking Them. --Brock-Perry
