Directions:  From Alexandria, take US Hwy. 71 south and turn right on LA Hwy. 112 
(at the caution light in Lecompte).  Continue through Lecompte, and turn left 
just BEFORE Linzay and Red Hill Cemeteries (about .3 mile).  Springhill Cemetery 
is about 1/3 mile up this dirt road.

The cemetery is very large, situated on a hill, and is well maintained as far as 
grounds are concerned.  Many vaults and slabs are broken or sunken in the ground; 
several depressions are visible as most unmarked burials once had slabs of concrete 
or brick vaults. Some graves in the rear of the burial ground have slid downhill 
toward a ravine that leads to the bayou.

Springhill is typical of so many of the older African-American cemeteries in Rapides 
Parish.  The neglect of many graves is in direct contrast with other large vaults 
built of white brick, well marked with beautiful stones, under good fence.  There 
were many fresh flowers in evidence, and the center area had been raked and the 
brush removed.  The cemetery covers several acres covered with large hardwood trees 
and several large magnolias in full bloom (May 1992).  

A driveway divides the cemetery in half. Tombstone inscriptions were recorded from 
the right side of the driveway, back to front, by Mary Parker Partain, May 1992.

[Note:  At least 280 vaults, slabs, and broken stones have no inscriptions or information was impossible to read.  Dozens of depressions were obvious and many more were probably hidden under the leaves.  The hillside had eroded, and many vaults were sunk or teetering on the edge.  Most of the vaults were made of concrete, but many older ones had once been beautiful brick structures several feet high.  Some of these had been damaged by fallen trees or vandals.  Roots of the large trees had forced some vaults into precarious positions, and had broken many slabs.  MPP]
