The Cloverdale Cemetery is located 42 miles south of Animas, NM
traveling on State road 338. It's located about 1.5 miles south of the
old Cloverdale store. The land was deeded to the Cloverdale community
by Mr. Brahmlett and is on what is now known as the Gray Ranch. Our
tour and the histories listed here were provided by Mrs. Cordy Cowan.
Mrs. Cowan said that she believes there are several more people of the
Awtrey family buried here, but the graves are unmarked. There are a
total of10 unmarked graves.
