Dawson, NM : The Dawson, New Mexico Cemetery contains graves of the people who lived in the area, but also hundreds of white crosses of miners killed in mining disasters. Coal mines were first developed here in 1901 and Dawson became a home for miners from all over the world, especially Italy.

The first mining disaster occurred on September 14, 1903 when fire broke out in one of the mines and three miners were killed. The next tradegy occurred October 22, 1913 when Stag Canyon Mine No.2 had an explosion. 263 men were killed. Almost ten years later, another mine explosion ocurred on February 8, 1923, killing 121 men.

The townsite is on private property, so we were not able to get any photos of buildings. The cemetary provided an insightful look into the lives of the residents in Dawson.

Today, the cemetery is dotted with some 383 white crosses honoring the men that were killed in the explosions of 1913 and 1923. Numerous other graves in the cemetery display old tombstones, showing a variety of nationalities. Unfortunately, there are yet more graves that are unmarked
