Tombstone Photographs

Rosita Cemetery is located southeast of the towns of Westcliffe and Silver Cliff off Hwy. 69.  The town of Rosita would almost have to be called a ghost town.  The plaque on one (on right above) pillar reads, "In memory of, Rosita Lodge No. 36, AF & AM, 1879-1906; Presented by Silver Cliff Lodge, No. 38, 1992."  (Map)
