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.

Located north of Willis Texas on Calvary Road, approx. 3.5 miles west of IH45. The cemetery is on the right side of the road with the number 12896 on the fence by the gate. It is not easily visible from the road. It is listed as Lakeview or Plainview Cemetery in the Montgomery County Texas Cemeteries, Vol. VI, page 6. It is overgrown, looking more like the surrounding woods than a cemetery. There are many possible gravesites (sunken areas of the dimensions of a grave) as well as unmarked graves. It appears there is no established pattern for burials as graves are scattered throughout the area.
