Springdale Cemetery is located southwest of the town of Springdale.
You can reach it from Hwy 395 by going west on Hwy 292 until you
come to the RR crossing in Springdale, turn left or south and drive
approximately 1mi. Turn right onto Cemetery Road for about 1/2 mile.
It lies on the right side of the road.
The city of Springdale owns this cemetery. After a fire
several years ago, many records were lost. This made it so a good
cemetery record was not available. A few years ago a Cemetery Board
was formed, to be responsible for the all of the maintenence and
management of the cemetery, including record keeping. Much work
has been done by this new group, led by Dan Edmonds, to get the
cemetery where it is today.
The new committee has replatted the whole cemetery, thus the
reason for two different lot numbers on a large majority of the
burials. If there is only one, that probably means there was not
a previous number known, or it is a burial since the replatting.
Be aware if you have an older number, you will need the new one
also to find the burial spot. There still remain a few unknown
burial plots.
There will still be workdays and many volunteers needed to keep
the cemetery in good condition. Much thanks should be given to
the group who saw to it that this cemetery was restored.
I found the cemetery to be in good shape and being used, when
I first walked it, on May 23, 1999. Being so close to Memorial
day, there was a crew busy at work cleaning the cemetery while
I did my survey.
I since have merged all my old reading with the current sexton
files, which are up to Oct 07, 2009.
