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.

Situated four miles south of Rees Station, this cemetery is in the southwest quarter of the northeast quarter of Section 10 of Township 13 N Range 9 W. The grave markers are situated together at the very top of a small rise which is covered with a stand of brush, trees and weeds in the middle of a field. There is a creek running along 3 sides of the hill where the burial ground is located. A few of the old posts from a fence which surrounded the cemetery at one time can still be seen along the south side of the cemetery. The cemetery lies to the east of, and in sight of the nearest road although there is no evidence from the road that a cemetery is located atop the brushy hill. This forgotten family burying ground is overgrown with brush, weeds and briars and contains the remains of many fallen trees. Given the years of neglect, the stones are in remarkably good condition with all but two still standing. We visited the cemetery after locating it with the help of the property owner and took photographs on October 26, 2005.

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) feature ID for the cemetery is 1748090 (Criswell George Cemetery / Criswell Cemetery).
