The original family cemetery of Ransom Nichols was located on the property where his house still stands, though it has gone through extensive remodeling through the years. It was known as Gum Springs. Unfortunately, the cemetery was razed in the 1940's. The only evidence that it ever existed was a portion of an old wrought iron fence that had been found in the area of the cemetery, and one identifiable headstone for "Little Evie daughter of L H (Lewis Harrison) & Ida S Nichols Born April 15, 1883 Died May 30, 1884. Bud of the earth. Bloom in Heaven" The owners of the property, known as The Nicholson House B&B in 2000, had placed the little marker at the natural spring; a tranquil setting, on the backside of the property. They allowed the photographer to document and photograph it as well as showed where location of the original cemetery had been. The property was sold multiple times since the 2000 documentation, and is now private property.
