The cemetery is surrounded by mostly trailer homes. There are actually five graves here, although Mrs. Talley's is the only one marked. Three belong to the stillborn children of Jim and Jewell McClellan, while a Talley infant is buried with her mother, Agnes Talley. Her lone headstone bears the following inscriptions:
Agnes

Born

This is called "Cunningtubby Cemetery" because the the land on which it's located belonged to a Native American, Palmer K. "P.K." Cunningtubby. It is still in the hands of his descendants, and it is very well-maintained. Notably, Agnes's parents, the McClellans, and Mr. Cunningtubby are buried in nearby Green Hill Cemetery, also in Davis, while her husband is a few miles away, at Oaklawn Cemetery in Wynnewood, OK. There is a nearby creek bearing the name "Chigley," which was Mrs. Talley's maiden name.
