Dripping Springs Cemetery
Tussy, Oklahoma
Dripping Springs is located East on the road that is Garvin County and Carter
County line. It is way off the road up an oil field road. The oil company keeps the road passable. You must contact
the owner of the farm for admission to the cemetery, and he has indicated that he may be removing the fencing to
allow his cattle to graze. This cemetery is a small family cemetery which was part of William "Bill"
and Henrieta Riddle's Indian land allotment. Most everyone buried there is related to the McCartys (except, according
to the McCartys) for a few people who were passing through during an epidemic of some sort and the family allowed
them to be buried there. Many young McCarty children died during this same epidemic and are also buried here. Some
in unmarked graves.
This information was sent to us by Mrs. Beaulah Smith. No date was given for her canvass though, or
if she used another source.
The Oldest Headstone picture that I could locate was that of Mary Ann Perkins Greene, wife of Eli Greene
Source of photo above is Christy Eckert.
