MOUNTAIN SPRINGS CEMETERY

MOUNTAIN SPRINGS CHURCH CEMETRY)

COMPLETE
TRANSCRIPTION
This is
a COMPLETE listing of people interred at this cemetery.
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.

(The poem on
his stone)
My New Home
Don’t worry
about me
For I have
too soon gone home
I am with
Jesus now
He said
that I must come.
I have no
tears and no strife
I feel no
earthly pain
Heaven is
surely what they said
It is the
ultimate gain.
I met my
Lord with outstretched arms
It’s so
calm and peaceful here
Please
don’t fret, my child, my friend
For soon we
will be near.
I have left
many friends and loved ones
I have
traveled a road for this long
It may seem
few, or little to some
But friend,
my time has certainly come.
My wish is
for you to remember me
Grandsons,
just dry your tears
My wife, my
son, my daughter, I love
There’s no
need to fear.
God told me
to tell you
I am just
one moment away
You know
that we can meet again
And Heaven
is truly worth the wait.
God has a
plan for each of us
Don’t wait
too late to pray
I love each
and every (rest was cut off)
Please join
me (rest was cut off)

transcribed from a photo of the poem my camera cut the last two lines off)
