There is also a community between
Earle and Marked Tree that is known as Black
Oak. This would be in
Crittenden County. I was raised just south of there and it was known as Black
Oak for as long as I can remember. The name was changed to
Oak Acres several years ago but the people in the area still refer to the community as Black
Oak. This is where Johnny Rye's grocery was located for many years. I have been told that there is a cemetery to the east of the community and although I tried to find it, I've not been able to locate it.
