About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

Unmarked graves were found during the construction of the James Reese Career and Technical Center on once Imperial Sugar Company land. The graves of 95 prisoners were discovered, dating from 1878 to 1911. Part of the new educational building was planned to be built where this previously forgotten cemetery was located. Cooperation between the Fort Bend School District and the Fort Bend County authorities determined that the graves will remain in place, and the educational building wing planned for that area will not be built to the original plans. The county has accepted responsibility for the care of the cemetery. There will be no new burials, and this cemetery will serve as a historic memorial for convict laborers.
