Located north of Fisk, this cemetery is no longer used, but there
is evidence that is was a fair sized cemetery. Ken Risinger,
whose family is buried there, wrote the following to Betty Hanks
in 1986:  "... According to Dan Erickson, the forest ranger who
lives [near] the cemetery, there are about 50 gravesites there.
Most of them, or at least quite a few, are from the CHILDRESS
family, which was my mother's maiden name.  When I first saw this
cemetery back in 1935... I could read only four names chiseled on
the headstones of native rock.  Mary Ann, my grandmother; Alva,
her son, about age 6; James, my grandfather; and Sarah, a
daughter, about 20....
I [believe] that my great-grandparents [Major L. and Sabra (LONG
) CHILDRESS ] are buried at Blue Springs, as well as [several of
their descendants]..."
