Trujillo Creek Cemetery
aka Mount Carmel Cemetery


Trujillo Creek cemetery lies near the area which was at the beginning known at the Plazita. Most of the early Spanish pioneers are buried here, but no one knows for certain how old this burial ground is, or who was the first person to be buried here. Salvador Maes and one of his sisters donated the land for this cemetery.

Some of the older graves are marked by wooden crosses or common moss-covered rocks with a few letters and dates, many of which have become weather beaten and can no longer be identified. Some of the older moss covered markers date back to 1883. One of these older stones is of the 22 year old son of Blas Felipe Quintana who was fatally injured as he helped his father clear the trees from their homestead. A few graves have small wooden fences, and the more recent ones have concrete enclosures. Most of the graves are cared for by family members or friends of the deceased.

At one time the community had organized to keep the cemetery clean and the general up-keep well supervised. The late Luis Vigil, Dario Quintana and Frank Passarelli were the caretakers. In 1973, shortly before his death, the late Frank Passarelli designed the gates and entrance to the cemetery.

In early day when people in the Trujillo Creek community passed away, a messenger on horseback went to every home in the community to tell about the death. The chapel bell tolled sadly as the news spread throughout the area. Immediately the neighbors gathered at the home where the death had occured to offer help and comfort. Seldom were the coroner or embalmer called to verify the cause of death or embalm the body. The neighbors helped in the construction of the crude wooden coffins and covered them with blue, black, or white cloth. White ribbon crosses were sewn to the sides and top of the coffin. The women bathed and prepared the body for burial. All the neighbors gathered for an all night wake. Many prayers were said and the singing of Alabados continued through the night. This praying and singing continued until around midnight when food was served, then most people went home. A few people remained to console the grieving families. Occasionaly they went to view the body, as it lay in the coffin on benches or tables. As soon as daylight dawned, a team of black horses hitched to a spring wagon was ready to take the deceased to the cemetery for burial. The entire community of neighbors and friends gathered for the funeral.

Each year on Memorial Day relatives and friends come to the Trujillo Creek cemetery to pay tribute to their dead. Beautiful wreaths and plants are left on graves, as people meet and visit, talking about old times. They look around at the graves - some heaping mounds of new dirt, others sunken by age and neglect. Quite a few elaborate markers are seen, but many are the small moss covered rocks with a few letters and a date. These simple and perhaps crude stones mark the burial site of our early pioneers who toiled to build this community. Among these markers are also those of soldiers of World War I, World War II, and one or two of the Civil War. - Written by Anne Lucero in "Trujillo Creek - the Early Days".
