Location of 3rd Panteon (1700's) of Huejuquilla El Alto, Jalisco, Mexico


By MADERA_32 - Posted on 21 February 2017

I have found the location of the 3rd panteon (Cementary) of Huejuquilla El Alto, Jalisco, Mexico.

On page 63 of Defunciones 1771-1785, 1787-1833 of Huejuquilla El Alto in familysearch.org.

This one defunto record gives the location as the Priest says:

"En el Cementario de esta iglesia detras del osario" year is 1779:

Looks like there was an old cementary behing the San Diego Parroquia Church.

This is a picture of the San Diego Parroquia Church. The one marked with blue arros is the San Diego Parroquia Church. So the old cementary would have been behind the church.

The green arrow marks the San Diego Capilla Church. Since there are two San Diego Churchs. One is the Capilla, which is small and the other the Parroquia, the larger church:

So now there are three known pantones at Huejuquilla.

The current one which seems to have started around 1870's when the defunto records began to be recorded by civil records as well as the Catholic Church Records.

Then there was another one that was older that was on the edge of the town (east side) along the road and they say a school was built there. It is also behind where the hotel "Moras" is. That panteon was torn down in the 1970's.

And the third panteon is the one that seems to be during the 1700's behind the San Diego Church as the record indicates.
