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]
The cemetery was formed for the burial of members and families of the Ephesus Primitive Baptist Church, which was organized in 1860. There are approximately 90 graves within the cemetery, with the majority interred during the 19th century. The last two surviving members of the church were buried in 2008 and no other burials have taken place since.[2]
