The 1883 Atlas shows that this land was owned by William Corzine and the 1918 Atlas shows it belonged to J.A. Corzine.
The first recording of a deed for this cemetery is as follows: James A. Corzine deeded a tract of land 295' N-S X 325' E-W in SE corner of NE ¼ to the Spring Creek Cemetery Co. The deed was dated May 13, 1893, and recorded April 29, 1895.
A Quit Claim Deed was given by W.M. Corzine to the Corzine Cemetery District, dated April 22, 1958, and filed May 22, 1958, for the following described tract:
Beginning at the Southeast corner of the Northeast Quarter, then South along East line of said section, 186'; then West 316'; then North 628' 6"; then East 6' to the corner of said Cemetery; then South 442' 6"; then East 6' to the corner of said Cemetery; then East along South line of said Cemetery to the place of beginning, and containing approximately 1.408 acres.
