Ephesus Cemetery is a historic cemetery just north of Emmet, Arkansas, on United States Route 67. The cemetery was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009.^[1]

History

The cemetery, which was probably laid out in 1860 when the adjacent Ephesus Primitive Baptist Church was founded, is a small plot containing 68 marked graves with legible dates, six with markers but illegible dates, and 27 known unmarked graves. The oldest dated burial is 1876; the cemetery contains the graves of many of Emmet's early settlers, and is the last surviving element of that time (the church having been replaced in the mid-20th century).^[2]
