Winifried Scott and George Armstrong Custer among many military greats. Here in nearby Fort Huachuca's
Bonny Blink Cemetary are many old Apache scouts' graves and some of young children dead from disease.
My dad's grave is there as well. A beautiful spot with large oaks.
I also liked the one in the old ghost town of White Oaks, New Mexico, with graves from some of the
Lincoln County War folks. One is a deputy who was shot by Billy the Kid when he escaped from the jail
in Lincoln. My mom loved this place with it's No Scum Allowed saloon where, if the bartender isn't there,
you just help yourself and leave the money on the bar. Her ashes are in the hills overlooking the ghost town.
