I do have Hickey Cemetery in the Cemetery Book, but no Hurt family names. I looked it up on the USGS mapping service
http://geonames.usgs.gov/domestic/index.html
which is an invaluable and free access resource for finding place names from the past, and see that there is also a Slover Creek that runs east/west on the north side of Round Mtn.
This is an area I am not familiar with, but from the maps I have, and matching the unnamed creek on the map to the USGS topographic map, it looks like this creek runs over the border of Johnson & Pope counties. You might need to look in Pope County before 1880. This would also make sense if the T.S. Hurt in the Confederate Veteran's camp is yours.
I found a Thomas Hurt and a Thomas S. Hurt in the National Park Service Soldier's & Sailor's System (another good free resource). The quoted regiment numbers don't work for my citation from the paper, but the names and places do.

Then I took this to the Arkansas Civil War site

Which has a lot of good unit information.
A Thomas Hurt enlisted in 1863 from Kingston, Arkansas, in Company G of the 7th Arkansas Cavalry, which was under command of John F. Hill from Clarksville.
It looks like he is the same as the Thomas S., who had enlisted in the 14th Arkansas in 1861 at Camp Madison (no, sorry I don't find where that was located), but was reported as a deserter in June 1862. That unit was primarily men who joined a few months earlier at Yellville.
There are towns of Kingston in both Yell and Madison Counties. (more places to look - sorry to increase the range rather than reduce it)
You might also look for the book
A History of Baptists in Arkansas 1818-1978
Hinson, E. Glenn
Arkansas Baptist State Convention, 1979
I have no indication that the church is/ is not listed, but it would be worth a try at your library or via interlibrary loan.
