Marker Text: As settlement along Spring Creek increased after the end of the Civil War, land in this area was set aside for a Missionary Baptist church, a school, and this cemetery. According to local tradition, the first burial was that of a horse thief hanged in the vicinity. The earliest marked tombstone, however, is that of 2-year-old Will Bullard who died in 1881. In its role as a reflection of the area's heritage, Spring Creek Cemetery is the burial site of many early settlers, war veterans, school teachers, and church members. (1986)
