Capt Samuel Lon Hayhurst
A.K.A. S. Lon Hayhurst & S. L. Hayhurst
An editorial in the Green Forest Tribune, dated Friday, May 8, 1908, states:
"Carroll county (sic) has some very well-kept cemeteries, but for the most part they are in from only passive to bad condition. The strongest instance of the latter kind that comes under the constant public gaze is the old burying-ground located almost in the heart of the town of Berryville. . . [Among the tombstones] Another that stood careening ready to fall was the stone at the head of the grave of Lon Hayhurst, who was a prominent citizen in the county following after the civil war. He was sheriff of the county during the [eighteen] seventies."
He served for two terms, 1872-1876. (JLM)
