Location:
Section 26, Township 43N, Range 28W - North Unorganized Township
History:
Saint Philip is an abandoned Episcopal cemetery overlooking the Little White River Valley.
It is fenced but the fence is in very poor condition. There are artificial flowers placed on some of the graves but little care has been taken of anything. There are also graves outside the fence.
The cemetery was started in 1886 as an Indian Burial Ground. On 18 February 1918, the Episcopal Missionary Society got a deed for the land from Stands By Himself.
