Otero County Queries - Jan 06 -Jan 07

I am looking for the small cemetery close to the Post Office, I believe. It had two graves of Taylors; one was an infant with a metal crib around it. It is not the one in the main cemetery.

I am searching for any information regarding Ernest Lee DEW or his family.

Ernest Lee DEW, born 14 May 1909 in Carbon, Eastland County, Texas; died 8 April 1942 in Alamogordo, Otero County, New Mexico. Married Melvina BOLES in May 1932.

They had three children, names unknown.

I have information to share.

SELMAN	Submitter: ALTOLADY@aol.com Date: 8 June 2006
	I am currently doing research on the Battle of Yellow House Canyon in March 1877, and one of the participants was Tom Cat SELMAN (Thomas Clark SELMAN ) whose grandson, Reggie, lives in Otero at the present time. I have the standard information that is in some of the books, but would really appreciate any other material that Reggie or other family members might contribute. Can someone put me in contact with Reggie? Most of the buffalo hunters/badmen who participated in the fight moved west after that time, and didn't care to be counted in the census or public records. A number went to Lincoln County and did damage there. A few upstanding ones like George CAUSEY established ranches in New Mexico, but the majority just left. Thank you. Judy Womack
