Notes:  This cemetery is located in the community of Spruce Creek Flyin that
was built on the World War II airport built by the Navy to train pilots for 
the war. The cemetery existed long before the airport was built and has Civil
War Soldiers buried there but their headstones were destroyed and are
unmarked.

A nice archway was donated and built by the Johns family at the entrance in
1985 in memory of Curtis James Johns who passed away at the early age of
21, I had the pleasure of meeting Libby and Tim Johns and Melody Johns
Whitesides the day I visited the cemetery as they were participating in the
annual cleanup, The cemetery is well taken care of.

My reason to visit was to try and locate my gr-gr-grandmothers headstone
but she doesn't have one so I am now trying to find records of where she is
buried in the cemetery to place one for her.
