Hillside Cemetery, located about ½ mile southeast of the town of 
Saguache, is a true pioneer cemetery established in 1860.  To drive 
to the cemetery turn east on Pitkin Avenue in Saguache for 
approximately 7 blocks, turn left for one block and turn right at 
the stop sign. Stay on this road for approximately ½ mile to the 
cemetery entrance.
NOTE:  Red, white, and blue stakes shown in some photos indicates 
that the man buried in that grave is a veteran.  This is true even 
if there is no notation of military service on his gravestone.
