"GUM GROVE CEMETERY
Union Township, Jackson County, Arkansas"
inventoried by James Logan Morgan, December 1984

"This cemetery was established in the 1870s as a family cemetery for a white family.  Shortly afterwards, it was sold to the City of Newport 
and established as Newport Cemetery.  The west part of this cemetery was converted to use as a black cemetery about 1900.  The cemetery came to be known as Gum Grove.  This inventory was prepared by James Logan 
Morgan in December, 1984, with earlier and later partial listings."
