Billy the Kid's Mother's Grave

Memory Lane Cemetery in Silver City

Silver City is the boyhood home of Billy the Kid.
His mother died of TB and was originally buried in another cemetery in town. Moved to Memory Lane, her grave was marked with a wooden stake which was eventually replaced by this granite marker.

Her son, Billy, is believed by many to be buried at Fort Sumner. There have been ongoing efforts to exhume Billy's body and his mother's body to prove once and for all that Billy is indeed buried at Fort Sumner.
