Some cemetery surveys were continued on following magazine issues. Our thanks to Dorothy Webb for typing this record. This cemetery is located northeast of town (1,797 acres on the NW ¼ of Section 23, Township 28 North, Range 9 East, Tres Piedras Quadrangle Map). The town of Tres Piedras was settled about 1880 with the coming of the Denver and Rio Grande Western (D&RGW) Railroad. It is at the western edge of Taos County, 30 miles NW of Taos and 30 miles south of the Colorado border (Lat N36d38m Long W105d58m, elevation 8,076 ft.) Order of List: Rows run from north to south, although not all graves are in rows. Compiled in 1993 and updated September 1997 by NMGS member Dorothy A. (Smith) Brylinski from headstones, families, WPA histories, "Grantham’s Booster," census records, early Taos county marriage records, and personal knowledge. "’Grantham’s Booster’ was a newsletter published in Tres Piedras around 1928. The D&RGW Railroad, popularly called the "Chili Line," ran between Antonito, CO and Santa Fe from 1880 to 1941. I grew up seeing that train go by twice a day; it was our link to the outside world in winter. The water tank can still be seen from the cemetery."  D. B.
