Marker Text
It is believed interments were made at this site prior to 1882, when Jo
Anna (Armstrong) Crim, the wife of Abraham B. Crim, was buried here. Hers is the
earliest marked grave. That same year, the Crim's daughter Louisa (Crim)
Armstrong was buried here. The Crims and nine of their grown children had
migrated to Rusk County from Alabama in 1867. Abraham B. Crim formally set aside
one acre for a burial ground in 1883, and most of the early graves are those of
his family. Other gravesites belong to pioneer settlers of the Crim's Chapel
community.
