Rocky Hill Cemetery seeking volunteers

Volunteers in the Campbell area are seeking support for the maintenance of Dunklin County’s oldest cemetery. Rocky Hill Cemetery, located west of Campbell on Crowley’s Ridge, has graves dating back to 1858. Located in the path of the Chalk Bluff Trail, this route between Old Four Mile and the St. Francis River was an Indian Trail, and later a primitive road taken by troops in the War Between the States. The historic graveyard is located about a mile from the site of where a ferry once crossed the river. Many Boy Scout troops used to hike through and camp on this trail and at the battle sites, located on the Missouri and Arkansas sides of the “chalky bluffs.”
