(Soda Springs Methodist Cemetery) This cemetery was founded on land deeded to the Soda Springs Methodist Church about 1867 by early settler Margret Hinds. The first recorded burial was that of Henrietta Gant in 1868. The cemetery was first known as Soda Springs Methodist Cemetery but was renamed McNeil Cemetery sometime before Soda Springs Methodist Church disbanded in 1919. Among the more than 390 grave sites in the cemetery are many of the area's early settlers and their descendants. the cemetery is maintained by an association and continues to serve the McNeil community.
