The Terlingua Cemetery
There are many graves in the Terlingua Cemetery– nobody is sure just how many, but 400 is a conservative estimate. Only a small number have legible markers. However, Brewster County death records and records from St. Agnes Church in Terlingua identify many others who are buried there. Through research of these records, along with the marked graves, I have identified 285 people who are buried there. These records also reveal a great deal of information about the individuals. If all fields in the record are completed (frequently they are not), they show the name, date and place of birth, death, and burial, occupation, and cause of death as well as the names and places of birth of parents and the spouse. The entries below provide the information derived from this research. Other than correcting obvious errors, I have recorded the information as it is shown in the records.When St. Agnes Church became active in Terlingua in 1914, the priests “adopted” the Terlingua Cemetery. In church records it is shown as “St. Agnes Chisos” Cemetery. However, official death records continued to refer to it as the Terlingua Cemetery.
