Trying to find grave of Dero Duty Cabot Arkansas?

Question

A good friend of mine passed away in 1986 and I am trying to locate his grave site and this is proving to be a difficult task for me. He was born June 8, 1945 and passed away in February 28, 1986. If anyone from Arkansas knew him or knows where his grave is located I would really appreciate it.

His name is Dero Duty and he lived in a small place in Arkansas called Cabot and his obituary was in the Jonesboro Sun Times. If you have any information, please tell me. Thank you.

Answer 1

Did you try calling the local cemeteries?  I could not find him on Findagrave or ancestry.com (except SSDI).

The above are the two mortuaries that I find in Cabot, Arkansas.  Unless he was "handled" elsewhere, one of the two should have a record of him.  Funeral directors have always been very kind to me.. even when I have picked up the phone and called.  If they DON'T have him in their records... talk sweet, and ask if they have the number for the main cemetery in the area.

The website for the newspaper should also help.  I doubt that an obit from 1986 will be online... but they will be able to verify where old copies are archived.

Answer 3

contact the sun in Jonesboro AR they will without a doubt have a copy of the obituary on file..they can give you the information on what funeral home took care of Mr Duty and maybe even would tell of his internment. if the obit doesn't contain the cemetary name that will be on file at the funeral home. here's a start, contact the sun by phone [phone], or at the email address below.
