Festus Steed was the son of Green B. Steed and his second wife, Sarah Eliza Whitley. Green B. Steed is buried in Prince Cemetery in Bald Knob, Whitye Co., AR, with his first wife, Eloise Woodward.
The cemetery is located at the residence of Dr. and Mrs. Bernard C. Smith of Bradford. The burials are on a hill in a pasture field. The Smith home is located on the right side of Highway 367 about two miles south of Bradford. There is no street number. About two miles south of Bradford there is a grove of pine trees on the side of the highway with a paved driveway going up through them. The home is about 200 yards from the highway and cannot be seen from the highway. Just before you get to the house, turn right across a dam that holds a large lake or pond. Follow the farm road through two gates. The cemetery is on the left about 100 feet after you go through the second gate. There is one grave with information and four marked only with rocks. The identified grave is that of the two-year-old son of S. and G. Steed.
Blair reported that Dr. Smith said "all of the graves are of Steed children who died of smallpox around the turn of the century. But some of the graves are marked with field rocks and appear to be too big for children."
