cemetery |
323225N |
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. |

Kickapoo Creek and Water Falls The early settlers of Hood County designated the name 'Kickapoo' to a creek that meanders the landscape of the Lipan area. Three miles northeast of Lipan a beautiful water falls runs most of the year on Kickapoo Creek, thus the name Kickapoo Falls was adapted. There are verbal records that can be substantiated, dating back to 1859, that claim the early settlers named the creek and the water falls after the Kickapoo Indians. Modern scholarship on the Kickapoo Indians is very sketchy. What is known for sure is the Kickapoo Indians were recognized as citizens of Spain in 1765 and given land grants in parts of Mexico that later became Texas. The Kickapoo Indians are still in other parts of Texas. In July of 1859, my great, great, great, Grandfather, Malachi Gregory purchased the land known as Kickapoo Falls from the State of Texas, making him the original recorded land owner. His brother, Absalom Gregory, purchased the adjoining property. Malachi was a mule skinner, meaning he drove a team of mules. His primary freight was animal hides from the cattle and buffalo trails of West Texas. It is recorded in the Hood County archives that Malachi paid taxes on animal skins. Malachi died and was buried along the trail somewhere near Dallas around 1890. Malachi's daughter, Ida Gregory, married Neal Tolbert from the Lipan area and the property passed to the Tolbert family then to the E. J. Seymour family of Lipan. Today Kickapoo Falls retains a rustic
beauty that has not been disturbed by modernity. There is a current movement
to make the area a park. |

In the 1920's John Kristensed established a community on what is now DeCardova Bend (Pecan Plantation). The community dispersed in 1943-44. Kristenstad is twelve miles southeast of Granbury in southeastern Hood County. It was established by John B. Kristenstad about 1915 as a Norwegian settlement in the De Cordova Bend of the Brazos River. Though a post office operated there from 1928 until sometime after 1930, the community remained largely undeveloped. Twenty persons lived in Kristenstad in 1936. In 1990 it had a few houses and a cemetery. |

. Mambrino, eight miles southeast of Granbury in south central Hood County, was probably established around 1900. The farming community had ten residents by the mid-1930s, and by the middle of the next decade it had a population of twenty-five and one business. Mambrino did not report population statistics during the 1950s and 1960s. From the mid-1970s through 1990 it reported a population of seventy-four. Mambrino was known as Shady Grove before the post office was established.. |

The Mambrino Community did not begin to develop until the early settlers began moving north from Mitchell Bend and coming across the river from Fall Creek and Cleburne about 1906 or 1907. Most of the early settlers who started the village came from Mitchell Bend. The Mambrino School was first built in about 1908. Vircey Mcatee |

cemetery |

The road leading to the Martin Cemetery is
located 4.7 miles from the Lipan City limit on farm and market road 4,
between Lipan and Granbury. The cemetery is located on what is now the
Diamond A ranch, approximately 2 miles down a gravel road. Although it
appears to be a common ranch road, the gravel road is actually a county road
and was once the main artery of traffic from the Weatherford area to Tolar.
Now there are several ranches with gates and locks across the road in
different locations. The cemetery is remote and secluded, but well
maintained. Robinson Creek is a short distance from the burial site. It was
at this crossing on Robinson Creek that many of the original settlers of Hood
County, camped, watered their livestock, and rested from their journey. The
age of the cemetery is unknown, as with many Hood County cemeteries. This is
also the location for the former Bethel School. Part of the old concrete
water fountain still remains. The property was originally donated by the
Millington family of Lipan, but the cemetery was already in existence. The
casual observer can see how the cemetery developed by the progressive quality
of the grave markers. Located in the southeastern corner of the cemetery are
the oldest graves. Local residents many years ago identified the large group
of stone markers as the burial ground for Indians who were killed in the many
battles fought in this area. One of the oldest readable markers has a burial
date of 1873, but there are a great many markers behind that particular
tombstone with inscriptions that are not legible. Buried in the cemetery are
the Hood County descendants of the Martin family. It was this family that
that gave the cemetery the Martin name. Thank you, Warren Rogers |

I was taken across the river and left with an aunt and grandmother at George's Creek and went to school at the Alta Vista school which served the George's Creek and Cox Bend communities. (Just a little bit of extra history to shows what a sacrifice getting an education was). Vircy Macatee |
