St. Mary's Cemetery


Information donated by Virginia Stanbrough (from Nola Watson)

This cemetery is located on East Berrendo Road, two miles east of Main Street, Roswell, NM, on the corner of East Berrendo Road and La Jara Road. This was a cemetery for Hispanic Catholics which was used primarily from about 1903-1909. Ownership of the land is not clear. It is probably owned by the Railroad. The names of people buried there were collected by a boy in the Boy Scouts for a project in about 1987.
