New Mexico Cemeteries MASONIC—ODD FELLOWS—MONTEFIORE CEMETERIES: What is known in Las Vegas as the Masonic cemetery is actually three cemeteries—the Masonic Cemetery, the International Order of Odd Fellows Cemetery, and Montefiore Cemetery. There are 2,350 names in the index of the stones in these three cemeteries. Many families have members buried in two of the cemeteries; some even have burials in all three cemeteries. Tombstones in these three cemeteries were copied in 1978 and checked and updated in 1982 and during the winter of 1988-89. Several of those copied in 1978 are no longer legible. Rows are numbered from east to west. Graves in two of the sections are in two cemeteries. Entrance to the Masonic Cemetery is through a gate at the end of Mills Avenue. Entrance to the Odd Fellows Cemetery is through a gate on Mora Street. Montefiore Cemetery can be reached through either of the other two cemeteries. A note in the Odd Fellows Cemetery record book states that IOOF Lodge #4 was instituted October 16, 1879. Charter members of the IOOF Lodge #4 were J. Abramosky, J. Cochran, J. C. Adlon, F. H. Atkins, J. E. Arthur, F. E. Bell, L. Bauer, J. Black, J. E. Burnett, J. C. Bromagen, J. C. Cavis, H. Cohn, J. L. Chapman, J. Cochran, J. M. Downing, C. Fisk, G. H. Fisher, Geo. Fuller, J. P.

Rieddinger, G. A. Rothgeb, F. Ribie, P. Roth, and A. T. Rogers. Soon after IOOF Lodge #4 was instituted, the cemetery was bought, fenced, and divided into 510 lots according to the note in the Odd Fellows Cemetery book. The earliest burial recorded in the book is in 1880, but there is a tombstone in the cemetery bearing a death date of 1868. Either, the IOOF bought an existing cemetery or an 1868 burial was moved to the new cemetery. MASONIC CEMETERY Section H John LEWIS 1863-1943 Father (Masonic
