Baptisms of El Carmen Church 1855 to 1891, entry 254, Page 22, Jan 19, 1863, record his birth as born 1 month ago in 1862, son of Nieveas Seremil and Margarita Diaz. Additional Comments: This photo was also taken at the Gillette Cemetery. The grave is located behind the Gillette Cemetery which is already list by Lisa Dromgoole Adams. It contains several graves and includes the ancestral Serenil Family. The sad part is that the back part of the cemetery property was fenced off and only about 30 or so graves remain there. The entrance to the Gillette Latin Cemetery is on the small road next the well known Gillette Cemetery. This back area contains I believe the graves of the Hispanic population of Gillette.
