April 24, 1960, my mother and father and I visited a family
cemetery near old Elmo, Arkansas, now near Mack's Gin, on Highway
14 from Newport, Arkansas, We found the following markers piled
against a walnut tree in a horse lot. Now it is an open field,
James McCullough.;.- d, 1 Oct, � 1877, age 57 ' years. ( This was
the first husband of my grandmother, whose maiden -name was Susan
Savanah Hudson,)
Thomas McCullough, d. 2 March 1861, age 70 years. (Father
of James McCullough,)
---?-•--- --?--, d. 2 March 1888, Top of marker broken and
gone. (Maybe the wife of Thomas McCullough,)
My mother told me that several of the children were buried there.
There is another family cemetery, known as Brooks -McCullough,
located in the Black Lands, southwest of Oil Trough, Arkansas.
Susan Hudson's second marriage was fo William H.. McCullough, maybe
a cousin of her first husband; James McCullough.,
lily mother, her sister and I visited the cemetery in 1956.
At the time of our visit, the cemetery was in a pasture and all
the markers were down, V. Y. Cook had stopped burying when he
became owner of the land by foreclosure of a mortgage from Dick
Smith. In addition to the markers listed below, there are several
other graves with only stone. markers.
