Moore Catholic Cemetery

This site was deeded to the Moore Catholic Church in 1902 by Ben Duncan, who also gave land for the church structure, though burials had occurred before the donation. The earliest known grave is that of Christine Tehas, 1819-1894. The gravestones bear mostly Spanish names, along with English and German ones. Those buried here include pioneer settlers, veterans of Indian Battles and two world wars, and a Virginia-born ex-slave. A cemetery board was organized in 1974.
