Chloride Mountain View Cemetery (Aka: Chloride Greenwood Cemetery)
Chloride, Sierra County, New Mexico

Lat: 33°20'13"N, Lon: 107°40'58"W

Cemetery is located approximately 42 miles from Truth or Consequences, NM on Hwy 52. Take I 25 north from TorC approx. 15 miles. Look for Cucillo turnoff. Same area as Chloride Santo Nino Cemetery.

Contributed by Marilyn Poitras, Oct 30, 2001 [lavelle@zianet.com]. Total records = 129.

The cemetery was recorded Mar 1990 and 21 Nov. 1994 by the Sierra County Genealogical Society. Information was taken from a book published by them and used with permission.

Chloride was started in the 1880's when silver was discovered in the area. According to a local resident, the origin of the Chloride Cemetery was the grave of a seven month old Baby. In 1882, young parents, grief-stricken over the loss of their only child walked around the hills surrounding Chloride and choose a spot with only thoughts of peace and beauty of nature. Today mining activity is being renewed in the little town composed of a few buildings and a handful of people.

There are no unmarked graves. All have been recorded. This is an old western type cemetery, with no prepetual care. It is still active.
