    I believe I have an ancestor buried here based on old records, so I went here hoping there would be a headstone.
    Most gravesites are little more than rock piles now with no marker to indicate who is buried there. I guesstimate around 30 years or so ago, some group began putting up new wooden crosses on many gravesites, but they are generic & blank.
    Around the 1940's, it appears more families began using headstones and concrete that identified their loved ones and there are even graves from as recent as 2000's that are pretty modern. In general, however, the longer it has been since your loved one passed away, the more unlikely you will be able to locate their gravesite unless someone can find records of the plots - even then it would still be difficult as the oldest​ gravesites have long ago turned into nothing but a few rocks through time or vandalism.
    Still, it is amazing how much I felt a rush of history just standing atop that hill. I could visualize the landscape back then even as I-10 and construction vehicles rolled on around me.

Their existence will be ended near enough to Smeltertown Cemetery for them to be considered the last two ASARCO employees interred in this unlikely boneyard; its hard, rocky dirt the color of bleached khaki, bright enough in the sun to make you snow-blind in July.
