Mammoth Springs   To reach Mammoth Springs, take FM 663 to FM 875. Singleton Road, the first road to the west, will take you to the Spring. It is located on the headwaters of Waxahachie Creek, and is now the site of the Salvation Army Camp. John Hawkins Singleton received a land grant here and the family cemetery is located by a small lake fed by the Mammoth Spring. Singleton fought in three wars, Texas Independence, Mexican War and the Civil War. His wife was Rebecca Ann Barker. A memorial was placed at the cemetery in 1931 by Marvin E. Singleton in "Remembrance of these Pioneer Parents and the Brothers and Sisters who shared with him this Old Fashioned American Home." Other names found in this small cemetery are Clark, Ellis, Erwin, Langham and Lowenstein. Mountain Peak was the closest trade area for this small community.
