PORTER SPRINGS CEMETERY
The cemetery is enclosed in a chain link fence and is in generally good condition. For some markers that are impossible to read, we have used information from a 1970 census of Dorothy Hawk.
There are 300 marked graves and a number of unmarked ones. Read by Margaret Muenker and Ella Frances Dodd in 1976. Updated in 1985 by Mrs. R. L. Murray
