Cave Springs Independent Missionary Baptist Church predates the Civil war. Tradition has it that some of the earliest graves in the cemetary were that of slaves. The only thing marking them is sandstone rocks placed to show there is a grave there.

The first gravestones with names show up around the time of the Civil War in the early 1860's.

Unfortunatly, I fell a week ago last Friday and suffered a severe bruise on my knee and have been unable to climb the atairs to the main sancutary. I haven't been able to go for a couple of weeks. I'm going to try this coming Sunday.
