Short Spring Cemetery is located in Section 20 Township 27N Range 12W in Alfalfa County. This cemetery is located 3 miles north and 8 1/2 miles west of Cherokee or east of Alva on Highway 64 on the north side of the highway.


The Short Spring Cemetery is 1/2 mile west of the Short Spring School. At one time, there was a post office 1/2 mile west and 1/2 mile north of the cemetery. In 1897 the post office name was changed to Ashley. The platted map of the lots was filed in the Alfalfa County Courthouse on September 7, 1901. The post office was closed in 1908. There was a German Church to the SE. The Short Spring School building was turned over to the cemetery association when it was no longer used for school purposes. An annual meeting is held at the school each Memorial Day where people gather and have a basket dinner and reminisce.
