End of Pages.
These deaths were written in a file found in the
Tucumcari mortuary in Quay County, New Mexico around
1905. The file was hand written. Many of the
deceased had lived in the mining area of Lincoln
County. This was typed by a volunteer who used a ?
to indicated hard to read entry, and ( ) to indicate
personal notes. Resource was submitted by Ginger
Byrum. Please report any corrections to us. Do not
use this list for data. Ask us to check the original
record for one name you are interested in.
On Page thirteen, the method of recording changed as
did the hand writing and spelling. Date of death was
followed by day of burial, cause of death, attending
physician, casket style, price of casket and other
information. Prior to this, only one Page was used
per entry, thereafter, each Page had two parts, part
"a" and part "b". I rearranged some Pages,
connecting each Page b with its correct part a.
I have reason to believe that this "booklet" was
once in a loose leaf folder, and it was assembled
into a booklet with some Page numbers hand stamped
on Pages after the book was assembled. That file was
obtained by Willie Kelt Bilbo, who in turn, donated
it to a library.
K. P. Cemetery means Knights of Pythias Cemetery,
later named Cedervale Cemetery (or White Oaks
Historical Cemetery) about the time of statehood.
Texas Park referred to a large area--where many
Texans settled, and not to a town per se. I have
shown date of death and burial date thus, June 4//6.
In a few cases, the 1895 and 1900 censuses may be
viewed to find relatives of the deceased mentioned
in the file. Keep in mind that the one who paid for
the funeral may be related or an employer. C. W. Barnum
