Old Willcox Cemetery

Lies about 1/2 mile northeast of Willcox. It is a sand dune cemetery, in very bad condition. In all, approx. 30 burials were identified.

The Fall/Winter 1999/2000 CCHS Journal, and an article from Phyllis de la Garza has: "The Old Willcox Cemetery is only a short walk from Railroad Avenue through the Willcox sand dunes. The cemetery holds the graves of more than 90 citizens, buried between 1880 and 1918. Seven Chinamen, victims of Apache Indians who attacked a stage coach in which the men traveled in the 1880s, were buried in a single grave. Here lies Warren Earp, as well as local bandits, ruffians and prostitutes -- infamous members of Willcox society. Here, too, are buried the productive law-abiding townsfolk, and some of their children. Willcox apparently never had a "Boot Hill," thus separating the good from the bad and the ugly. If there ever was a complete and accurate list of all the burials, it has been lost in time."
