Zybach Cemetery

Zybach Cemetery was established in 1918 west of Zybach Methodist Church. The first burial was Garrett Helton in 1918, and a notable burial is Wiley McCray, named “world’s greatest rodeo clown” in 1950 and 1960. The cemetery’s size changed several times: the “old addition” was one acre previously owned by Clemans Helton, the “new addition” had belonged to the church and was added after the church was removed, in 1975 Harold Peterman bought an acre to the south and donated it as the “Peterman addition,” and Lucile Tipps and her children donated land to the west as the “Tipps addition.” The cemetery remains in use today.
