Arrey Cemetery
Arrey, Sierra County, New Mexico

Lat: 32°50'53"N, Lon: 107°19'09"W

The Cemetery is located in Arrey NM, which is 20 miles south of Truth or Consequences on Hwy 187 next to the grocery store and across from Arrey Elementary School.

Contributed by Marilyn Poitras, Oct 23, 2001 [lavelle@zianet.com]. Total records = 139.

This is a very old "western type" cemetery with many burial plots marked only with wooden crosses, piles of stones and stone outlines. It is very rocky with little maintenance other than personal family care at particular burial sites.

These records show all visible burial sites in the Arrey Cemetery. They were compiled on 01 Sep 1994 by the Sierra County Genealogical Society, and published in a book. I have transcribed from this book, after being given permission by the society, so it could be published on the internet.

The town of Arrey was established about 1890. It is not known what year the cemetery was started, but the first recorded death is William Bonney in 1897.
