Notes for HARRIET JANE THRONEBURY:
Burr Cemetery is located near Warm Springs, Arkansas in a field behind a locked gate on property owned by the Mitchell Lee of Jonesboro and being leased by Darrell Alphin. Access to a key can be obtained by contacting Mr Alphin at 647 - 2439. Directions to the cemetery from Pocahontas are: Take Highway 115 to Highway 251; proceed on Highway 251 to Warm Springs Road; turn right and proceed 1.1 mile. At this point you will turn right and there you will find the locked gate. The cemetery will be .5 mile on the right behind the gate. A fence surrounds the cemetery. The cemetery is in terribe disarray and I would not recommend a visit until after frost.
