Mike Meyer Disfarmer Gravesite
The Mike Meyer Disfarmer Gravesite is a historic gravesite in the Heber Springs Cemetery, Heber Springs, Arkansas. The grave is marked by a simple granite marker, bearing the legend "Mike Meyer Disfarmer / 1884–1959", with an egg-and-dart pattern in the bottom center between the dates, and a floral design above each of the dates. It is the only known surviving place associated with Mike Disfarmer, a noted regional portrait photographer. Disfarmer had his studio in Heber Springs, and photographed mainly local subjects. His work was the subject of a major retrospective in New York City in 1976.[2]
