Sanpete County, Utah There are two cemeteries in Spring City. The oldest cemetery is located on First East between Second and Third North. Burials began there in the 1850s or 1860s. The cemetery is located on a back lot on Block 44. The old cemetery site was utilized by Spring City residents into the late 1860s. The cemetery contains the headstones of several men killed in the Indian Wars. Many of the stones are hand carved and contain interesting local headstone motifs and designs. Isaac Allred, 1788-1870, and his son, James R. Allred, 1827-1871, a Mormon Battalion veteran, are buried in this cemetery. Many children are buried there, but the wooden headstones have disappeared. A new fence was constructed in 1999. A Daughters of Utah Pioneers (DUP) monument is located in this cemetery. The “newer” cemetery, west of town, was begun in 1869. Space became drastically reduced in the Spring City city limits and Indian problems became less of a threat. These two factors allowed the larger cemetery to be built. The cemetery is located on Utah 117 near the intersection with Highway 89. James Allred, 1784-1876, who founded Spring City in 1852 and his wife, Elizabeth Warren Allred, 1786-1879, are buried in this cemetery. The grave of their oldest child, William Hackley Allred, 1804-1890, and the grave of their tenth child, James Tillman Sanford Allred, 1825-1904, are near the graves of their parents. James and Elizabeth Warren Allred were the parents of 12 children. Burials continue today in this cemetery. Many Allreds are buried in this cemetery.
