This abandoned cemetery is located on the farm of O J Love north of Conway. At the time this cemetery was surveyed, it was overgrown with small cedar trees, the surface area was under about six inches of leaves, and it was evident that several large trees had fallen within the cemetery. The cemetery is bounded on the east by Old Linder Road and on the north by Arkavalley Road.

It is thought that the Love families were among the persecuted Protestants who left Scotland for Holland, then back to the British Isles, and finally set sail for America in the early part of the 17th century. This particular branch of the Love family settled in North Carolina and later migrated westward by way of Georgia.

Hiram Brown Love married Martha A "Mattie" Milam on December 7, 1876. The 1880 Faulkner County census lists John T Love, age 2, living with Hiram and Martha. Their next two children died within the next year (1881). Joseph O Love died as an infant. Mattie's younger brother, Abner, died in 1871, and was buried at Love Cemetery.

In addition to these three commercial-made monuments, there are several burial sites that are marked only by fieldstones.
