Inscription. The Walton's occupied a storehouse which was used during the Civil War in the 1860's. The structure was located north of this spring on the site which is now Section R. This improved spring maintained a temperature of 53°F and was used for drinking purposes and keeping perishable items cool during summer months. It no longer yields water but during the rainy season some water will rise to the surface. It was restored in 1988 by Cave Hill Cemetery and will be maintained to add continuous beauty to our grounds
