Curtis and Virginia Olmsted. One stone is included in this list is from the Churchyard of the Catholic Church at La Joya, and that is of Padre Boillat. The others are all from the village cemetery located on a narrow dirt road which takes off to the left just before entering this quaint little village which leaves one with the impression of having stepped back into the past. There were many graves in this cemetery that were marked by cairns of field stones with initials only, and not all of them were legible. Initials carved on field stones: R.R.D.B. (and a cross) H.M. N.P. S.L.P. J.B. B.T. G.P. P.S. G.M. M.E.F.P.
