Mesa County Genealogical Society

2024 Recently Found Cemetery Photos

These photos were apparently taken by Mesa County Genealogical Society members in September during the 1983 Cemetery project. They were discovered in 2024. The photos will eventually be moved to the individual cemetery pages they correspond to. Although some of these photos include, what appears to be an alpha-numeric indexing number, no indexing document was found in the photo album. Note: Some of these photos have been scanned in the same orientation as the photo album pages.

1983 Cemetery Project Information Sheet

Billie Richardson of the society wrote up this informational sheet about some of the research.

Little Park

At the top of the photo album page there is this notation: 'Olive Lane Blackburn, Sept 1983'. It is not clear if this is the individual who provided the photos. Her obituary is here.

Pentacostal Burial Ground

There is no trace of this burial ground. It was apparently near Loma. It could perhaps be located by landmarks in the photo. I was unable to locate an obituary for Hernan Morfin who's tombstone was photographed in 1983. If the dates on the tombstone are correct this is the burial of a 4 month old child.

Gateway Cemetery

There are 9 photographs on a page for Gateway Cemetery, however there are no tombstones included just views of the general area. These photos were not scanned but will be included in the cemetery binders.

Mesa Cemetery

There are 3 photos of this cemetery. It appears that at least two of the photos were taken facing east.

Clover Cemetery

The Clover Cemetery is located in Collbran, Colorado

Glade Park

DeBeque Cemetery

Whitewater Cemetery

Only one photo - taken September 1983

Notation on photo page: "Isolated Grave: Near Salt Creek Wash. No Stone. Mrs. Alice Devine informant". There is no other information

These are the only color photos. They were also taken 1983. Color and contrast has been adjusted. I scanned the photos on the pages as they are glued on.
