The Riggs Cemetery

The Riggs Cemetery is located in the median between the north and southbound lanes of Highway 59 just north of the San Jacinto River, north of Splendora Texas.  A small cemetery surrounded by a chain link fence located in a grove of trees, it is well taken care of.  We have transcribed this cemetery to the best of our ability, but no matter how careful we have been, this transcription may contain errors. Always refer to the original source for accurate information. Please note that when you click on a hyperlinked name in the index, it will take you to the headstone inscription for that person. When you click on the hyperlinked name in the headstone inscription area, it will take you to a photograph taken of their headstone. These gifs will take time to load, but hopefully it will be worth the wait. To get back to this page, you must hit your web browser back button.
