Mountain Springs Cemetery, Compton, Newton County, Arkansas *********************************************************** Submitted by: Rosa Cline Date: 31 Oct 2008 Copyright.

I do have headstone photos of each person listed below. I hope this listing helps these people to always be remembered. To try and help folks to always be remembered when they have gone on before us is the main reason I do what I do. And helping folks find family or friends in the process is a good plus as well. To get to this cemetery you drive from the small town of Compton toward Ponca. When you see the signs to turn to the right to go to Osage turn right. Drive on this highway about 2-3 minutes and you will see a white church turn into the church parking lot and the cemetery is on the backside of the church. There is another Mountain Springs Cemetery in Compton. That is the original run down cemetery. This cemetery is a new cemetery with just a handful of graves (when this transcription was done). So if you have been told someone has been buried at Mountain Springs in Compton then if the dates are 1800's then they probably are in the original cemetery, if the dates are 2000 or newer then they are probably going to be in this new Mountain Springs cemetery.
