Rogers Family Cemetery, El Dorado, AR

The Rogers Family Cemetery is located just west of El Dorado, Union Co., AR, about 1/2 mile south of Highway 82 in what once was a pasture known as the "Goodwin Place," (a bit southeast of the original Elisha Rogers homestead), but is now a subdivision called Meadow Hills Estates.

At the time of the subdivision (1997 or so), only one marker was found, that of Destie Rogers Hardin. It was surrounded by a flower bed/rock garden when a home was built behind it.

The family is nice enough to allow visits, but please respect them by calling ahead. Please contact me (Hank Rogers) for his phone number.
