Gum Springs Cemetery

The Carson / Gum Springs Cemetery Association Has a New Website
with Photographs of the Tombstones.
However I have left my old incomplete listing below as it contains extra info &
links to more data.

Gum Springs Cemetery , also referred to as the Carson Cemetery. This area was known as Carson which

was the name of the School , Church and Store. There was a Baptist church there and the name Gum Springs

came from the only reliable source of wash water. It tended to 'gum' up the laundry with its hard water.

(this is not the Carson Cemetery, that cemetery is north of Savoy in NW Fannin County) It is located on Cr3670,

signs are on 1396.
