I received an email in December 2007 (I think) about this forgotten grave.  It was 
recently re-discovered by some surveyors out of Albuqueruqe doing some
work near Hope, NM.  After they found this grave, they did their own research
and found living decendents, one of which contacted me.  I contacted the surveyors
and received further information to find this site again.

I visited the area looking for the grave in February 2008.  It was a dry windy day.
This site is located 2.5 miles south of Hope,  NM.  From Highway 82 turn south on 
County Road 12 (also known as Armstrong Road).  Go 2.5 miles south and the site
is to the west just past a dry arroyo with some trees.  It will be sitting a good 100 yards
off the roadway.  It is fensed and only has one clearly marked head stone.

For more information on this find see the following web link:

The above web site link have loads of family information, including how Charlotte and
her husband came to be in Eddy Co., NM during that time.

GPS coordinates are: Map Datum WGS84
32deg 46.363 North

The Head Stone is in good shape and reads as follows (note the spelling of her first name):

CHARLOTTEE
