1. Spring Valley Cemetery Marker
In this cemetery are buried members of the Rice Family and other early residents of Spring Valley. Along with other pioneering families, The Rice's helped settle his valley in the mid-1860's. The graves in the cemetery extend from that time period to the turn of the century. In recent years thoughtless people have destroyed some of the grave markers so that now those buried here will remain nameless.
