Campo Santo De Penas Negras Cemetery


This page contributed and copyrighted by Karen Mitchell.


NOTE: This is not a complete listing. If anyone knows of more burials in this cemetery please contribute them by sending to Karen Mitchell.

Campo Santo De Penas Negras - state Road 240 near Blueberry Hill Road at Los Cordovas. Head northwest on Kit Carson Road towards Barela Lane. Turn left at Paseo Del Pueblo Sur, turn right at Camino de la Placitas, turn left at Ranchitos Road, continue on NM-240 for 2 miles.
Note: most grave markers are made by family members, or friends (even today). The graves are not dug in any particular order, and some markers never did have any words on them. There are about a dozen graves in this cemetery with stone or wooden markers that have no engraving. This is a small private cemetery, so it is very likely that there is a family relationship among all of those buried here.
