Haskell, Sarah Jane Paralee (m.Porter) Mrs.Born:Feb.3,1820 in Vernon, Texas-Died:Mar.27,1893 Helena, Ark.-Buried:Evergreen Cemetery, Helena, Ark.-Text:Among the noted persons who have lately passed from the scenes of earth, the South lost a former citizen, one of the truest and best, in Mrs. William Turner Haskell, who died a few weeks ago at the residence of her daughter, Mrs.Viola Rightor, in Helena, Ark. Gen. Haskell is proudly remembered as one of the finest orators who ever charmed an audience, and who had the power of almost literally enchaining his listeners until the silver sentences ceased to flow from his lips. After his death Mar.12,1859 in Lexington, Ky.,his wife, for some years, had charge of the State Library at the capital of Tennessee, and made many friends by her amiability and kindness. She was ardently attached to her people of the South, and even in the feebleness of advanced age took an active part in keeping green the memory of the past. She had written a history of the Governors of Tennessee, and that of her husband. She was anxious for the success of the former that she might send out a memorial volume in honor of the latter. Confederate Veteran June 1893.p.164-Husband is on FAG-Picture- US Congressman. Elected to represent Tennessee's 11th District in the United States House of Representatives, serving from 1847 to 1849. Member of the Tennessee State House of Representatives, serving in 1840. Note:Cemetery per Ancestry.com,Searcy Family Tree-husband buried in Jackson, Tenn.

According to the information in the bio field she was interred at Evergreen Cemetery in Helena Ark. Evergreen later became Maple Hill Cemetery which is here http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=cr&CRid=54904. I thought you'd like to add her to the cemetery rather than keep it a burial unknown.
