La Joya Cemetery Project is based on the cemetery surveys published in the New Mexico Genealogist, The Journal of the New Mexico Genealogical Society. P.O. Box 8283; Albuquerque, NM 87198-8283. The magazine's volume, date, and and page number is displayed under the cemetery's name. Our appreciation to the New Mexico Genealogical Society and the survey compliers. Retyped from record by C. W. Barnum. One stone is included in this list is from the Churchyard of the Catholic Church at La Joya, and that is of Padre Boillat. The others are all from the village cemetery located on a narrow dirt road which takes off to the left just before entering the village. There were many graves in this cemetery that were marked by field stones with initials, and not all of them were legible. Credit source: Compilers Janet A. Curtis and Virginia Olmsted, 1972.
