China Spring Cemetery
This cemetery was transcribed by Teresa Parrish. The street names are in maroon top centered. The family names are in all caps and underlined, black font. This is a partial listing about half of the cemetery Teresa is willing to do lookups on the other half until she gets it transcribed click on her name above to email her. She has included information not found on the grave markers gleaned from people visiting the cemetery, etc. I have made more than one page for this cemetery at the bottom of the page each page will be the link to the next page.

A precious one from us has gone,

which can never be filled.
God in his wisdom has recalled
the book his love has given
and though the body slumbers here
the soul is safe in heaven.

time, at the base of a tree near the road was a marker for simply 'Baby'. The marker
sat askance to the trunk. It has, since the spring of 1995, disappeared. I noticed it
missing in Jan. 1996. There was no other info. on the baby.]
[At base of a mesquite tree is a M cornerstone, possibly marking the
McWHORTER plot which is in the area between Bennatt-Davis and
LOUTHERBACK. This area is shown on the cemetery book as being purchased by
McWHORTER. There seems to be no be no graves here.]
