Two cemeteries are a part of the Lytton Springs community. The oldest was established by Johnson Silas Perry and is now called the Johnson Perry Cemetery. Johnson Perry led a wagon train to Lexington, Texas in 1869 from Mississippi but by 1870 he purchased land for a cotton gin where part of Lytton Springs now stands. The Johnson Perry Cemetery is adjacent to where that Gin stood.
The second cemetery was established due to a fear that the water supply of the communty was too close to the old cemetery. The Lytton Springs Cemetery is the largest and still in use. The Lytton Springs Cemetery Association cares for both cemeteries and anyone who has a family member interred in either cemetery or owns a plot is eligible for membership. There are no dues, the care of the cemeteries is supported by a Trust.
The Association is governed by a set of Bylaws.
Responsibility and authority
to manage and conduct Association business is invested to a Board
of Trustees elected by Association members.
