Lipan, Texas
4 July 1998
The Allison Cemetery is located five and
one half miles northeast of Lipan on farm and market road 1189. The
main gate for the cemetery is located behind the Allison Baptist Church.
The cemetery and the church are the remnants of a once vibrant community.
Of the estimated 150 graves in the cemetery, only about one half of the
inscriptions are legible. As with many cemeteries in the area, sandstone
was used for grave markers. The oldest grave sites with these markers have
deteriorated with time. Unlike other area cemeteries where markers
were loose rocks picked up and put in the ground, the markers at
Allison were pieces of work crafted by local rock masons. The soft
rock did not stand the test of time. The age of the cemetery is unknown
but dates back to around 1865, from what is known about the former Allison
community. The cemetery, community, and the former Hood County school
were named after the Allison family. Only the legible markers are
included in the following list of interments.
