parsons Square
Parsons Square in the Fort Sumner, New Mexico cemetery was surveyed Sept. 27, 1986 by Ike Stanford, Don McAlavy and Harold Kilmer. There were approximately thirty graves in this section with no markers.
Supplementary survey conducted January 25, 2006, by David Heusler. Surveyed for the existence of new markers, not to confirm that those markers recorded in 1986 remained. Many of those markers may have become illegible or disappeared altogether. A significant portion of the South half of Parsons Square contains only a few remnants of grave markers, although it is clear that the entire area was once used as a cemetery.
