Hope these photos and this information helps regarding a nice little cemetery (resting "high on that mountain") in the Boston Mountains near Winslow, Arkansas called the Coil Cemetery due to a couple of old graves with Coil names on them. [The sign (a new one) unfortunately has the common misspelling of cemetery.]
Family names (going from memory) on the grave markers there include mostly Hamptons, Reeds, and Prestons. The cemetery is also kept up pretty well.
Directions: Going by the Arkansas Gazeteer, you turn east on to "Koyle Cemetery Rd." (note the misspelled name for 'Coil') off of Scenic Hwy 71 in Winslow and go 2.1 miles. The cemetery will be on the left surrounded by pasture land, next to a large pond and enclosed in a cyclone fence.
Koyle Cemetery Rd. (may or may not be marked, I don't recall) is a dirt road at the top of the hill off of Scenic Hwy 71 that is north of the Winfrey Valley Rd. turn-off (going east) and south of the Sunset Rd turn-off (going east) in Winslow that takes you to Low Gap.
