Crosbyton Cemetery

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 of 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 here include Julian Bassett and many other early settlers who were influential in the development of the area. Crosbyton Cemetery is a reminder of the region's pioneer heritage.
