Darlington Cemetery

"The town called Darlington is only a place along HWY 93 on your way to Mackay Idaho. It is 16 miles north of Arco, Idaho. There is no Post Office. There is a Bar that is open still and old run down store, then a road that I turned left on. They now call it, Smith Road. It takes you on back along the valley to the farms. About two miles up this road on the right hand side is (was in 1995, when I did this) an Old Cemetery.

"The cemetery had a 4-foot high fence around each grave, at one end there was wooden steps for you to climb. Then fenced again around all the graves, with old style wooden gate. All this was to keep out the antelope that were plentiful in that area. I noticed they couldn't keep the moles or rabbits out. There is a nice tall old headstone, one that I remember well, had four sides and the names of family members on each side. The young ones tug at my heart." --Irene Lawson, 1995
