Summary edit

Description
English: Section of graveyard dedicated to dozens of unmarked crosses where victims of mining disasters were laid to rest in Dawson Cemetery, burial place of hundreds of townsfolk from the old coal mining town of Dawson, NM near Maxwell in Colfax County. Many of those interred were infants and children, but most were miners and their wives. Most of the miners and their families were immigrants from several different countries, chiefly Italy, Mexico, and Eastern European states. Many of the gravestones bear inscriptions in the immigrants' native languages and most were hand-carved between 1910 and 1925, when the town and mining operations were in their heydey.
