ek. Sudie told me that her father owned what is now the NAN Ranch, on the Mimbres, and that he was buried in the cemetery on Lower Mimbres, just beside the road to Deming. In December, 1962, Carl Mrotzek and I went to the cemetery and placed the Gamble tombstone upright. As typical of abandoned cemeteries in New Mexico, a barbed-wire fence has been run thru the middle of it, and cattle have knocked down most of the tomb- stones. Just a bit of the steer money that is put into Cadillacs would fence all of the early -day cemeteries that now look like trash piles. — Rhea Kuykendall. H. I. Peck brought out a car load of brood hogs from Kansas, which have been placed on an alfalfa ranch at Duck creek by Lyons & Campbell.
