This cemetery is still in use today. The graves marked unknown have a mortuary galvanized marker with a glass window and paper behind this that is no longer readable due to the elements. One of the unmarked graves belongs to the Hollingworth Family said to be stillborn child. The other unmarked grave is Archuletta, Leveta Fern who died from an accident. She was between 4&5 years old and her father was so bereaved over her loss he refused to mark her grave. Robertson, Roseanna T. (Torres) was cremated 1 Dec 2000 and the paper from her ern was attached to Mr. & Mrs. Jose Torres grave stone being a niece to this family. The information on some of the people in this cemetery was giving to me by Mr. E. L. Torres who did a transcription of this cemetery about 15 years ago.
