Our Lady of the Light, La Luz, Otero Co. NM Gloria B. Mayfield

Our Lady of the Light Catholic Cemetery

La Luz ,Otero County, New Mexico

Submitted by Lucy Shoaf

This is is a very old cemetery….lots of history here.   The cemetery is not located by the church.  The church is located at corner of La Luz Rd and Alamo St.    The cemetery  is located at the dead end of Kearney St.  To get there from Highway 70/54 headed North, turn right on Alamo St….headed East to Kearney St.  Make a left at Kearney St.    

This cemetery is not organized and all is divided on the right and left as you enter the South gate.  They are in a somewhat long row on each side so I refer to rows by number on left and on right.   I also put NW and NE corners reference.
