Old Palo Pinto
Cemetery
The census was taken by Bobby Watson
and Ruth Lemons.
18 graves with markers and about that many without markers.
The Old Palo Pinto Cemetery is located
about one mile south of town, and about 1/2 mile west of the present
road to Lone Camp. Located on the side of a sloping hill in a pasture
owned at present by Jesse Turner, Jr. It is a pretty spot - and
has been fenced off many years ago by some residents of the area. There
are many high cedar trees and some old mesquites. All or most of
the stones have fallen down and are lying, we suppose, on the grave site. Many
are hand carved in native sandstone. There are more unmarked graves
than marked graves, and one wonders who they are. We have been
told recently that one of the early Palo Pinto County settlers is buried
there after being killed by Indians -- but which one?
John Sullivan buried there was killed as a young man shortly after his
marriage when a horse reared up with him, and fell back on top of him. He
was married to a half sister of Willie Cleveland. She later moved
to Oklahoma and remarried and reared a large family -- but none of them
kept in touch with the family here. |
