๐Ÿ›️ Old Athens Cemetery ⚰️ Ozark Stones & Stories ✍️

Come on another historical excursion with Ozarks’ History as we walk through the Old Athens Cemetery in northeastern Baxter County, Arkansas. The cemetery is slightly elevated on a wooden hill above Bennett’s Bayou, also known as Bennett’s River. It is also the same area that Henry Rowe Schoolcraft, and his partner, Levi Pettibone, journeyed through in December of 1818. 

Along the way, we will hear stories about family connections and the first Primitive Baptist Church established in this area in 1848. The founder of the church is listed as William T. Anderson and his wife Eunice. 

We are also excited to be reviewing two new Stone Table Crypts containing two Neck-Discoid Tombstones. This broadens our count of Neck-Discoid stones to 52. We will also learn how to read faded epitaphs with the etchings eroding away over time, using shaving cream, a squeegee, water, a brush, and D-2 Solution. 

Enjoy the pictures and extra videos at the end of the program.

"Gone to the Grave," one of our favorite books, by Abby Burnett 

This book is an excellent resource if you ever chance through a cemetery or enjoy spending time on those sacred grounds. "Gone to the Grave," a meticulous autopsy of this now vanished way of life and death, documents mourning and practical rituals through interviews, diaries and reminiscences, obituaries, and a wide variety of other sources. Abby Burnett covers attempts to stave off death; passings that, for various reasons, could not be mourned according to tradition; factors contributing to high maternal and infant mortality; and the ways in which loss was expressed through obituaries and epitaphs. A concluding chapter examines early undertaking practices and the many angles funeral industry professionals worked to convince the public of the need for their services.

๐Ÿ”ซ Murder of Charles Derl Wood ๐Ÿ”Ž๐Ÿชฆ

Some things in life are a mystery.

Some things are misplaced.

Some things are forgotten.

Some things are tucked away, ever so discretely, to be rediscovered again.

We had an opportunity to delve into a brief story & murder that occurred in either 1864 or 1865. 

This tragic incident was mentioned by Silas C. Turnbo & Judge W. B. Flippin. 

The story comes together for us when we visited the  the Old Hurst Teagarden Cemetery.

Charles Derl/Durrel Wood was apparently a man full of vigor as he is referenced in the 
Tutt & Everett War in the 1840s.
 
 

Charles Derl Wood found in the 1850 U.S. Census in Marion County, Arkansas.

  
 
Charles Derl Wood purchasing at least 260 acres of land in present day Flippin, Arkansas.

But sadly, the birthday is off by 20 years. 
Our Derl Wood was born in 1826.
 
 Sarah/Sally B. Adams Wood, the wife of Charles Derl Wood, who is really buried in the Runge City Cemetery in Karnes County, Texas

Below is the Charles Derl Wood I believe that was killed during the Civil War raid on Marion County, Arkansas.

 
I highlighted the name on the Stone.
