Holy Cross Cemetery is located off Holy Cross Rd NW, west of Deming, New Mexico. This cemetery has been vandalized. Do not go to this area alone nor at night. Inform the Deming police before you go. Trespassers are subject to arrest. Hopefully, the City of Deming will restore this historic cemetery. This area was a military base dating from 1916. It was variously called Camp Cody (after William F. Cody), Camp Brooks, Camp Deming, the Deming Tuberculosis Sanatorium, and the Holy Cross Sanatorium. In 1939, a fire destroyed all of the buildings. It became a forgotten area. Note: Most of these deaths can not be found on the NMDI for reasons unknown.

#2 This photo shows the last standing building
in the Holy Cross complex. It is of concrete and
shaped like a cross. Was this fire accidental or set
deliberately to rid the area of this facility?
