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.
