Edith Boulevard is west of I-25, about 1½ miles. Earth Valley is just barely ¼ mile south of the Edith/Montgomery intersection. Continue on and you will soon see the cemetery, which is at the end of the road.

This is a small Hispanic cemetery. It started as a family plot, or the Sanchez family. I spoke with a family member but he didn't know when it started. As you can see, the earliest burial is 1919, but the majority are in the 1940's. It is not currently being used unless a "family" member passes from the original group.

The cemetery is tucked in an industrial area and is very run-down. My group of "tombstone transcription volunteers" and myself, scoured the area and wrote everything we could find. Then I found a listing from about 1952 in the genealogical library. It had about 10 more names. I included them in my listing.

This cemetery was transcribed in the spring of 2002.
