Saint Mary's Cemetery


This was a cemetery for Hispanic Catholics, which was used primarily from about 1903-1909. It is located on E. Berrendo Road at the railroad (Railroad Lane). It is in sections 22 and 23, township 10 South and Range 24 East. Ownership of the land is not clear; perhaps it belongs to the railroad.

The names of people buried there were collected by a Boy Scout as an Eagle Scout project about 1987.
There are approximately 50 unmarked graves.
