“Mount Holly has been referred to as the “Westminster of Arkansas” because of the number of famous Arkansans buried here.  Arkansas governors, state Supreme Court Justices, United States senators,  Confederate generals, mayors, and Pulitzer Prize winners share Mount Holly with slaves, businessmen, farmers,  artists, children, doctors, church leaders, and suffragettes.

On February 23, 1843, prominent Little Rock businessmen Roswell Beebe and Chester Ashley deeded four blocks to the young city of Little Rock for use as a cemetery.  Before then, the dead were buried in private family cemeteries or in a small cemetery where the Federal Building now stands on Capitol Avenue and Gaines Street.”
