History: Established in 1909, this cemetery was once part of
a 90,000 acre ranch operated by the C. B. Livestock Company. Julian
Bassett, part owner of the company and donor of the Crosbyton
Townsite, also gave the land for this burial ground when James
Boggs, a cowboy on the ranch, was ill and was thought to be dying.
The first burial was that of 18 month old Willie Oliver. Others
interred there include Julian Bassett and many other early settlers
who were influential in the development of the area. The Crosbyton
Cemetery is a reminder of the region's pioneer heritage.
Location: From Crosbyton, take US 82, 1 mile East.
