Location: In Arrey NM, which is 20 miles south of Truth or Consequences on Hwy 187 next to the grocery store and across from Arrey Elementary School.
About the cemetery: This is a very old "western type" cemetery
with many burial plots marked only with wooden crosses, piles
of stones and stone outlines. It is very rocky with little maintenance
other than personal family care at particular burial sites. The
town of Arrey was established about 1890. It is not known what
year the cemetery was started, but the first recorded death is
William Bonney in 1897.
