Several months ago, when I was sabmitti.ng some material for publication in 'The Arkan­sas Family Historian', I wrote to our Editor: "Today I have given an application for mem­bership in our Society to Mr. Bennett Garlington of Kingsland, Cleveland County, Arkansas, and I do hope he decides to join us. He ",HI make usa good member, as he knows so much about the old fami1ies along the Dallas-·Cleveland border, and particularly in those townships that were taken from Dallas County when Cleveland (formerly Dorsey) County was formed. He can contribute much to our Soci.ety." (Some of the families he has done extensive research on are John Cook, Wright., Garlington, Garner, Childers, Chesier and Burford.)

Mr. Garlington has joined us, and my prediejj.on that he would contribute has come true. He is with the A rkansas Forestry Commission and knows the location of many almost forgot­ten family cemeteries, and places where there are just two or three or a si.ngle grave, in places that were once part of a homesi:ead or plantation. We agreed that if he would gather this information, I would type and edi'!; ~t for him. The names have been alphabetized only by family surnames in an effort to keep inscripti.ons together as th.e graves lie in the cemetery.

We begi.n Mr. Garlington's cemetery listings with Garner Cemetery in Cleveland County on west side of 167 about: ten miles north of Fordyce·--NE 1/4, NW 1/4, Sec. 10, T9S, R13W.
