Albin Cemetery In Early Comanche County History
The Albin Cemetery on a hill in Comanche County near Newburg and Pettit began with land donated by Harrison W. Albin around 1860. It hosts early graves including Tankersly and Holmsley families, with notable grave arrangements and markers. Numerous Parker, Cunningham, Montgomery, and Clark family burials are noted among possibly fifty or more pre-1875 graves. The piece invites local memory of unmarked early graves.
