There are over 100 cemeteries in the county. They have not all been located. Some of these are ranch or "ranchito" cemeteries. That is, cemeteries that were used for the burials of the ranch owners, their workers, and the worker's families. The following is a list of the cemeteries that have been located. Many of these cemeteries have been inventoried on paper, and some have been put online. Eventually all the cemeteries of the county will be inventoried and put online. This enormous task is being directed by Santos Canales, chairperson of the cemetery project.The online transfer is the ongoing project of the social studies teachers of Berta Cabaza Middle School under the direction of Sandra Tumberlinson, internet teacher.
