Cemeteries and history Of S.E. New Mexico.
By Gene K. Tarvin
I decided to survey Loving Cemetery and others in South East New Mexico after being involved with surveying cemeteries in Texas. After the death of my wife in 2001, I traveled to N.E. Texas and became interested in genealogy.
I have lived near Loving for 30 years and have family buried here, thus my interest in New Mexico history.
I hope this site will be helpful in your family research.
Lookout Cemetery, neglected and vandalized
Doing cemetery surveys is not for the faint of heart. I have helped survey over 100 cemeteries in NE Texas and some had shoulder high weeds and briers and some had to have the poison ivy chopped from the gate before I could enter. In others I had to watch every step as the snakes were out. Other times it would be freezing cold. ( I must have been nuts ). This will remain a "work in progress" as I update or survey other cemeteries nearby in southern New Mexico, so please visit often to see whats new.
