Note: The existence of an African American section of the Smyrna Cemetery was known but not documented until Leroy Blair of the White County Historical Society visited the cemetery January 7, 2001. Charley Edwards of Searcy had told Blair about "an old cemetery that is in the woods between Highway 36 West and Smyrna Cemetery." When Blair visited the area, he "was surprised at how many graves are there. I found more than 100 deep depressions that I am sure are graves. They are all in rows that appear to line up with the rows in Smyrna Cemetery… I was told all of those buried here were African American."

Blair found the stones for the three names listed above. He also found the foot stone for a grave with "M.A." on it. The base for the head stone was there but the stone was gone.
