Allen Cemetery
Lea Head who inventoried the cemetery in January 2006, (Thanks, Lea!) found it in terrible shape. "There is a lot of old timber on the ground which could be obscuring stones. It is partially surrounded by a very old creek plus a stock pond dam. Flooding in the past is highly probable. The majority of stones are on the ground but not broken. Cattle continue to access the area and armadillo holes are plentiful."
We went back with Lea in 2008. In spite of being in terrible condition with most stones broken or tumbled, the cemetery site is stunning in it's beauty and serenity. We took more pictures and looked for more stones. It seems Lea had done a pretty thorough job on her first visit. We did find a few she had not previously located. We also found some stone bases where no stones now exist and pieces of stones unable to be reassembled.
No stones were found in either 2006 or 2008 for the names in italics in the listing below. These were reported on previous inventories of the cemetery but are not found today.
Ester A. Tefteller Bales Allen, long thought to be buried here but no longer marked, has now been located in a marked grave at Carson Cemetery in Ector. Her name has been removed from this inventory.
