****************
Baxter Bulletin newspaper of Mt Home
date of issue Mar 1, 1907
Joe Byrd, son of Emery Byrd, buried Lankford Cemetery

This can't be the man that married 25 Oct 1913 in
Marion County

J. C. Byrd 31 of Yellville
Tiney Carter 38 of Yellville

Sorry that's all I could find on the ones buried in this cemetery.

Arkansas Death Record Index
Byrd, J. C. d. 4-5-1925 in Hotsprings County
Byrd, J. J. d. 3-18-1925 in Baxter County (can find more on him)
Byrd, Joseph d. 9-14-1924 in Pulsaki County

The county of death is not always the place of residence.
