This cemetery has about 100 gravestones. David Llewellyn was murdered in 1915, his grave rests here. The case was never solved. Old Baptist Cemetery now sits on a private farm in Hector Arkansas, slowly becoming overgrown by a nearby forest. Civil War Victims have been buried here, and Most of those graves are unfortunately not marked. If you know any more about this Cemetery, please let us Know!
