An active cemetery east of Woolly Hollow State Park in the north central section of Faulkner County.

From the junction of US 65 and State Highway 285 north of Greenbrier, take 285 East and travel about 5-1/2 miles (past

the entrance to the state park) until you reach a "Y"; take the dirt road (McNew Cemetery Road). The fenced-in cemetery is on the left side of the road.

 

The land for the McNew Cemetery was donated by William McNew (b. 15 Feb, d. 16 Nov 1893) In 1855, William moved his wife and six children to Arkansas and settled on 160 acres of land near the cemetery. He later acquired considerably more land in the general vicinity and became a substantial farmer in the area. In 1893, six months before he died, William McNew built what was to become the McNew Chapel and donated three acres of land to the Methodist Episcopal Church. He rode a horse to Russellville to present the gift to the Methodist Assembly. When he returned, he was so please, he told his family -- "Well, I've done what I wanted done for a long time. Now we can have a church." The chapel was destroyed by a tornado in the 1920's. Old funeral home records

often refer to this cemetery as "McNew Chapel."

 

As of Nov 1, 2001, there are 556 burial plots, 108 of which have been designated as "unknown." Census was taken in 1979 by Hattie Ann Kelso, James Kilduff and Lisa Henry.
