Taos County, New Mexico
American WWI Mothers' Pilgrimage, 1930 |
Description:
In the late 1920s the War Department of the United States compiled a list of mothers and widows of deceased soldiers killed in World War I and offered to send them to their loved one's final resting place in Europe. As of 15 November 1929 the following women from New Mexico were entitled to make the pilgrimage. In a few cases the woman's surname and decedent's surname can be different, most likely due to an error in spelling in the original document. Taken from: List of Mothers and Widows of American Soldiers, Sailors, and Marines Entitled to Make a Pilgrimage to War Cemeteries in Europe. Washington, D.C.: Government Printing Office, 1930.
