It is located about 5 miles south of Strong,AR about half way between the Oakland Rd. and the Aurelle Rd. in the woods. It is accessable from the Oakland Rd. by taking a private timber rd., if the gate is open. You can also get to it off the Aurelle Rd. in a truck. (4 w dr if it has rained recently). When we were there last (June 1997) the cemetery was in bad shape. (I beleive Ira and Ora Wilson were twins, Isn't it strange that they also died on the same date?) There are probably twenty or more graves that are only marked by concrete blocks without inscriptions. It was hard to tell how many due to the weeds and ferns growing so thick and high.
