Original site of ST. MARY'S CHURCH, and at times, the cemetery was referred to as such. This cemetery was originally known as JENKINS CEMETERY.

Location: Travel west on Hwy. 64 from Marion, Arkansas. At the caution light, turn left (on Hwy 50, also known as Haden Avenue) towards Crawfordsville. The cemetery is located on the left side of the street, before reaching downtown, with the bank building on the right.

Information from "Crittenden County History"
by Margaret Woolfolk:

First Catholic Mass celebrated at Crawfordsville by the Rev. J. O'Niel Doyle of Osceola at the J. T. Haden home which continued to be used for services for about 4 years. Father Meigham came from Little Rock, Ark. in 1913 to serve Catholics as Pastor, under whose direction a small frame Church was erected on the Haden property on east side of Main Street, North of Bay Ferry Road in summer 1915. It was dedicated by Bishop John D. Morris, Nov. 7, 1815. Adjacent to the edifice was a church cemetery which is today known as the Haden Cemetery. This building burned in June 1946.

There are three graves in this cemetery enclosed by rectangular concrete. These are full size and would appear to be for adults. The top of each grave only has three initials:
ELH
CRH
MEH
