The two headstones in the foreground mark the graves of my paternal great great grandparents, Rhoda Ann Fullmer and her husband Hyrum Chapman.

The fenced area contains the graves of my maternal great grandparents, Earnest Albert Tietjen and Emma O. Erickson, as well as other members of the Tietjen family, who played such decisive rolls in the establishment of Bluewater and neighboring Mormon settlements in this area of New Mexico.
