LOOKOUT CEMETERY RECORDS
(Near Malaga, NM)

Records extracted by Richard Wilkinson

Submittal by Richard Wilkinson Jan 2000

The LOOKOUT Cemetery is also referred to by some people as the Malaga
Cemetery. However, is it correctly known as "Lookout". The following
information was taken from a special publication of the "Current-Argus"
in February 2000 "Our Town 2000". Lookout was a settlement from the 1890's
to the 1900's. It was on the mail stage route from Pecos, TX to Roswell, NM
and a cattle trail from from Texas to Kansas. It was then in Lincoln County.
Jesse J. Rascoe was the founder of Lookout. The early settlers lived in
dugouts that they dug into the river bank of Black River. In late 1885 the
population was about 350 people. The town lost its people after the railroad
announced that it would not be going through the settlement. Many relocated
to nearby Malaga and Loving. There are many young people buried here that
died from a typhoid breakout in 1909.

Surnames of the Settlement of Lookout that were on the Sept. 1, 1885
Territorial Census, Precinct 7:
Anderson, Benson, Bishop, Black, Blair, Bond, Brown, Carr, Cass, Clark,
Coats, Danner, Denman, Drivers, Duncan, Frier, Gabbret, Harris, Harrison,
Hoffman, Hopper, Howard, Jernigan, Johnson, Livingston, Lucas, Markham,
McKinney, Nash, Neeley, Paddleford, Parrish, Pearce, Phillips, Plowman,
Putman, Ramer, Rascoe, Reed, Robbins, Robinson, Rutledge, Slaughter, Smith,
Stewart, Stockman, Stuart, Trueblood, Tucker, Wadkins, Yose, Young, Welsh,
White and Williams.

This is a very old and very run down cemetery. There are more unmarked sites
than marked ones. Many are marked only with an old wooden cross that has
fallen and come apart. The carvings on the wood can't even be read on most
of them. Many have stone or concret markers that can no longer be read.

Because of the difficulty in reading so many of the names on the different
mediums of markers, some will only have names, some will only have a date,
and a couple will only be initials. Several markers were in Spanish and the
spelling was not correct on some or the words were run together. In these
cases, I have attempted to translate the best I can with the help of my
Hispanic in-laws.

If you are researching your family and know beyond a doubt that you have an
ancestor buried in this cemetery, please contact me to have the name added to
this list: Richard Wilkinson <jrrrr@pvtnetworks.net>.

To get to this cemetery:
Going south on the Pecos Highway (Hwy 285) from the Loving, NM City Limits,
go 3/10 miles and turn right. This will be county road 716, also known as
Higby Hole Road. Go 2.2 miles south and turn right on Ogden Road (County
Road 718). Go another 3/10 miles to a dirt road on the left with a gate.
This will be private property but the public seems to be allowed because the
gate will not be locked. Follow this private farm road to two other gates
that are side by side. Enter the one on the left and continue to the south
until you come to the cemetery that will be on the left 6/10 of a mile from
Odgen Road.
