Gold Hill Cemetery, Grant County, New Mexico *********************************************************** Submitted by: Steve Date: 23 Mar 2001 Copyright. All rights reserved. http://www.usgwarchives.net/copyright.htm *********************************************************** This cemetery is located in Grant county just north of Lordsburg, east of Highway 90. The cemetery is on US Forest Service land. The town of Gold hill had a post office from 1886 to 1906. there are no buildings left. (This location is reached by passing through a private ranch property, very near the ranch house. Trespassing is not recommended.) The size of the cemetery could possibly hold forty or fifty graves but I only observed thirteen obvious sites. Of these, only eight had head stones. Two of these contained only the persons name. The listing is as follows: # 1 Henry Riel (the name is carved across the top of an arrastra stone) # 2 (no stone) # 3 David Egelston (the name is carved across the top of a metate stone) # 4 James Patterson 1833-1892 # 5 Nettie B. Williams Nov. 13, 1879 Oct. 29, 1893 # 6 Infant son of W. I. Neil Died 1889 (carved on a slab of green richolite stone) # 7 Frankey F. Colbath 10-28-1881 11-11-1891 # 8 Luther L. Colbath Born Dec. 25, 1881 Died June 19, 1897 # 9 (no stone) #10 (no stone) #11 (no stone) #12 (no stone) #13 Harmon D. Wright 4-18-1868 4-4-1902
