This cemetery is the only black cemetery in Wood County. It was established in 1892 when 17 acres was purchased by Peter Brock and the Pond Run Cemetery Co. from D.R. Neal for $900 payable in installments over a three year period. Over the years sections of the property have been sold and the cemetery now covers just over 4 acres of ground.
The cemetery is still active and very well maintained by the Spring Grove Cemetery Association. It is totally surrounded by a chain link fence. Many of the stones are worn and a few are unreadable. There are as many unmarked graves as marked ones. I searched county death records to account for as many of the unmarked graves as possible."
