Jessie Axtell

dgoldens3 — 2013-05-16 02:48:29Z

Hi,

I just received my 2nd great Uncle's military records. Harley Axtell (who died in Fairview in 1915) was married to a Jessie Stanley (she was married twice before). In 1916, a letter in the file said that she was living in Flouorine. Any suggestions in finding out what happened to her?

Thanks,
Dawn

Re: Waldron - Chloride

dgoldens3 — 2013-04-19 17:11:28Z

Why I am wondering is that is that he was so young. I know that there is another relative that passed away young and is supposely buried in the same cemetery was Harley Axtell who died around 1915.

Is there any newspapers or perhaps death records from that time period that might say what he died of?

Hi,

I found my great great grandfather's brother buried in Chloride Cemetery.

His name was George Waldron. He died on 6/22/1894. Is there burial and/or newspapers article to find out more about him and his time in New Mexico. George grew up in Wisconsin.

Thanks,

The Santa Nino cemetery is listed under the Chloride cemeteries on this page: http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~nmscgs2/index1.htm
I could find any William Bunch listed, but his grave may be unmarked

Re: Grafton and Robinson

Nancyblackbu96 — 2012-05-30 15:20:48Z

Thank you for looking for me...I am familiar with find a grave, but not interment.net...I will check with the genealogical society also...Thanks again...Nancy

Re: Grafton and Robinson

judyartley53 — 2012-05-30 03:06:29Z

Hi Nancy,

I looked for William Tony Bunch in findagrave.com and interment.net but didn't find anything. You might want to double check the Sierra Co. cemeterties at interment.net because sometimes they had death dates but no names and one cemetery has almost no names but all inititals.

I couldn't find the Santa Nino Cemetery in Sierra Co. on-line.

You might want to check with the Sierra County Genealogical Society, rootsweb.ancestry.com/~nmscgs2/?cj=1&netid=cj&o_xi...
Some genealogical societies have records of who is buried in the cemeteries in their county. They might have info about Santa Nino Cem. Successful Searching!

Re: Grafton and Robinson

1882-1886, last name is Bunch, one possibly William Tony and I don't believe other one was ever named. Thank you so much for taking the time to do this...Nancy

Re: Grafton and Robinson

judyartley53 — 2012-05-28 22:15:12Z

Hi Nancy,

I'll look through the cemeteries listed online but I'll need to know their names and when and where they died. Even your best guess is better than nothing.

Re: Obit / Location of Burial for Charles Samuel Cross

judyartley53 — 2012-05-28 22:13:16Z

Hi,

I looked for him in findagrave.com and all of the Sierrra county cemeteries listed at Interment.net but didn't find him in any. Maybe he had a temporary marker which wasn't replaced with a permanent marker.

The Sierra County Genealogical Society, rootsweb.ancestry.com/nmscgs2/cj=l&netid=cj&o_xi... might have additional information and/or his obituary. Successful Searching!

Re: San Jose Parish Cemetery

epcasburn — 2011-05-15 04:18:08Z

Finally got some more information on the cemetery in Arrey that we are searching for. Apparently there is the Arrey Cemetery by the Pentecostal Church and then there is another cemetery that is a Catholic Cemetery that has been referred to in obits as the San Jose or Arrey Catholic Cemtery and it is not close to the Arrey Cemetery. I received an email from a woman that said she had photographed the Arrey Cemetery and some of the marked graves in the Catholic Cemetery and that they were very different. If I understood her correctly they are a couple of miles apart and the Catholic Cemetery is up on a hill. I a want to make sure that my family has markers on their graves. If it helps the newest one of the family buried there was in 2000. Her name was Margaret McNutt-Collins. Maybe that will help in locating the cemetery.

Re: San Jose Parish Cemetery

davemun87930 — 2011-05-12 16:30:42Z

To the southwest of the school on a hill with the flag pole would be the Arrey Cemetery. In our book there is only two McNutts listed, a Dayle and Doyle McNutt died 1964 1 day old. Many graves in this cemetery arte unmarked. There are a few other McNutts listed on our web site. You can do a search from the home page.

Re: San Jose Parish Cemetery

epcasburn — 2011-05-12 16:06:15Z

I looking for the McNutt family. Preston McNutt and two of his children were killed in a house fire in March 17 1943. His wife and daughter were injured and not expected to live. They are listed in the San Jose listing on FAG but some of the names are wrong and some are missing. Want to make sure my information is correct.

Found this note posted on the San Jose Parish FAG site Cemetery notes and/or description:
To the southwest of the school on a hill. There is a flag pole you can see from the road that will help you spot it.
AKA Arrey Catholic Cemetery

Re: San Jose Parish Cemetery

davemun87930 — 2011-05-12 15:45:32Z

I looked at the photo on Find A Grave abd it looks very much like the Garfield cemetery. Do you have a perticular name and date you are looking for?

Re: San Jose Parish Cemetery

epcasburn — 2011-05-12 14:48:36Z

I had checked that list but it does not include San Jose Parish. There is a listing for San Jose Parish Cemetery on Find A Grave where the family is supposed to be buried. I assume that it goes by another name.

Re: San Jose Parish Cemetery

Can anyone tell me if the San Jose Parish Cemetery in Arrey goes by any other name? I found it posted on Find A Grave but there is no record of this cemetery with New Mexico Genealogy Society.

It's the right guy but now I can't figure out who his parents are. The ones i thought seem to be dead before he was born! Does the headstone you have list a DOB and date of death?

Re: Postcard from 1911 Chloride
