The Singleton Family Cemetery is a historic cemetery on the western outskirts of Charleston, Arkansas. Established in the 1870s, it contains more than 120 graves; approximately half of these are marked graves. It is the oldest site associated with the early formation of Charleston, and several of its earliest settlers are buried here. The most prominent grave is that of Julia Singleton Cormack, one of the community's first school teachers. The cemetery continues to be used by the Singleton family descendants.[2]
