Las Nutrias, San Ysidro Church Cemetery, Socorro County

by Andrew Jaskolski

Las Nutrias is located 14 miles south of Belen on the east side of the Rio Grande on NM 304. The cemetery is two miles south of the sign that marks the entrance to Las Nutrias and is on the east side of the road. The original cemetery listing was taken from the New Mexico Genealogical Society Cemetery file. The exact date and who recorded the cemetery is unknown; however, the latest tombstone recorded was 1978. The following description was also found in the file. "The grounds are well kept, and the church freshly painted. According to Manuel Sanchez of Veguita, the surnames of the first settlers in this area were Baca, Romero, Sanchez, and Ulibarri. The former home of the Ulibarri brothers, Ambrocio and Leonidez, served as the first church and was built on the site of the present cemetery." On 2 July 1999, the cemetery was surveyed again by Andrew and Ernie Jaskolski. It is interesting to note that today, more than 20 years after the first survey, the grounds are still well kept and the church looks like it may have recently been painted. The first row starts at the front of the cemetery, near the highway. (T3N-R2E, Abeytas Quadrangle Map)
