Old Springs Cemetery is a Black unmarked and forgotten cemetery. This hallowed ground was created is approximately 70 acres and was founded in mid to late 1800s for humble people to not only Rest In Peace but to Rest In Power as well. This hallowed consecrated land is a few hundred feet from Hubbard Bethlehem Baptist Church. Old Springs is segregated and sometimes it is used as a dumping ground by individuals. A lot of black cemeteries are not registered.

There's no formal caretaker on the property and now it has fallen on the friends and relatives of the deceased in order to maintain the property. The unrefined care of this historical property overshadows the resting place with overgrown grasses and weeds, eroding grave markers and coverage, collapsing hollow graves, fallen over, cracked or broken in half memorials, and faded temporary grave markers have hindered complete restoration. As memory serves that last caretaker was the late Patriarch Beverly Pettigrew.

No trust fund means no long-term plan to keep up the property.
