Spring Hill Cemetery

Oktibbeha County, MS

This Cemetery is very hard for me to find. I go to this cemetery from Hiway 15, turning onto the Sturgis Reform Road, you stay on the Sturgis Reform Road (which turns into a gravel road ) when you pass a house on the left side of the road that has an eight foot cyclone fence around it, a short distance up the road there is a Y and you keep right there, the cemetery is only 2 miles up this road. The Church is on the right the Cemetery is on the left. The Church is no longer used except for Homecomings, which I believe is the first of June.

This is a very old cemetery and a very large one. In the back there are a lot of graves marked only with sandstones, only eight in this section have names, out of about sixty sandstones and funeral home markers no longer readable.

These two are engraved on broken concrete pipes, and these and 8 graves around these two have flowers all over them, so they may be gone but they are not forgotten, yet.

These 5 are headstones almost in the woods (looks as if recently cleared)
