Among the death certificates recorded for burials here since 1911—when state record-keeping began, we find both "Fraim Cemetery" and "Flippin Cemetery" listed as the place of burial. John M. Fraim (d. 1883) was buried here as an in-law of the Flippin Family. His wife, Permelia Ann (Flippin) Fraim (d. 1866), had been buried here previously. Their son, George T. Fraim (d. 1925), has a monument here, and his death certificate shows "Flippin Cemetery" as his place of burial. The local fame of John M. Fraim and his family's burials here undoubtedly contributed to the alternate namesake. However, the name, "Fraim Cemetery," apparently was not fixed in public usage until the publication of Monroe County's first cemetery book (Peden, 1974). Nevertheless, some descendants still think of it as Flippin Cemetery. — Charles R. Arterburn
