Cementerio de Concordia

Imagen de la entrada del Cementerio de Concordia. El Cementerio de Concordia, lugar de descanso de los famosos (e infames). Los Paseños comenzaron con la simple tumba de Juana Ascarate en la década de 1840, difunta esposa del comerciante chihuahuense Hugh Stephenson. Por los 1880s, el cementerio había alcanzado una popularidad regional, proporcionando la residencia eterna para los colonos, los líderes cívicos, los rancheros, y los políticos. También acomodó proscritos y pistoleros, ganando el nombre de "El Paso's Boot Hill" (La colina de bota de El Paso) después del famoso cementerio Boot Hill (colina de bota), llamado así por el número de habitantes forajidos que murieron con sus botas puestas. Los proscritos infames enterrados en Concordia incluyen el "escopeta" John Collins, el pistolero y el ladrón de ganado, L. Bass, borracho y asesino, y John Wesley Hardin que bromeó, "nunca maté a cualquier persona que no necesitará matar." El cementerio histórico sobrevive bajo el cuidado de la Concordia Heritage Association, una organización sin fines de lucro con la misión de proveer educación y programas culturales e históricos relacionados con el cementerio y la historia de El Paso. Giras de fantasmas, una celebración anual de Dia de los Muertos, paseos históricos, proyectos especiales y reuniones con la Sociedad Secreta John Wesley Hardin mantienen el calendario del cementerio ocupado. ¿Quién se hubiera imaginado que un cementerio pudiera tener tanta vida? http://texasmountaintrail.com/plan-your-adventure/historic-sites-and-cities/sites/concordia-cemetery
