Due to fire, there are virtually no courthouse or newspaper records of Madison County, Arkansas before 1900. As the state did not record births and deaths until about 1914, vital statistics for the 19th century are particularly difficult to obtain. This book is intended to help fill this genealogical resource gap. Enumerated during May and June of 1968, this volume includes all inscriptions from four of the larger Madison County cemeteries: Huntsville, Clifty, Riverside (St. Paul), and Wesley. The smaller Parker Cemetery located north of Kingston is also included. All data considered to be of genealogical or historical importance has been copied. Epitaphs have been omitted except those of unusual interest. All inscriptions have been listed in the order in which they were copied from tombstones, thus keeping families together rather than separating them by alphabetization. A space has been left between inscriptions appearing on separate stones, except where stones of a matching design were found side by side, or where stones were found within a clearly defined family plot. A county map is included showing the location of 33 cemeteries. Also included is an index of persons buried.
