Marker Text

In 1846, W.H. Everett of Yellville, Marion County, Arkansas, settled on this 320 acres. He set aside this cemetery at the death of Sarah Hornbeak (1847-1851), daughter of Samuel and Harriet Hornbeak. In 1853 Everett brought his sister Nancy Everett Goodall, widow of William Goodall, and her eight children from Yellville. One of those children, W.B. Goodall (1849-1922), purchased this property from his uncle. There are 30 marked and about nine unmarked graves in this burial ground. Goodall Cemetery Association has established a perpetual care fund.
