After Spring was established on the International and Great Northern line in 1873, it became an important railroad center. The Sellers family, early area landowners, donated part of their property for a community church and cemetery. The oldest legible tombstone is that of a child, Franklin Leroy Lovins, who died in 1910. Military veterans, including George C. Baker, who served in the Civil War, are also buried there. Gravestones mark nearly 50 burial sites, but many other burials are unmarked. The cemetery remains a reminder of Spring's heritage as a railroad town.
