Mormon Colonies in Mexico Obituaries

Due to the fact that there has never been an official newspaper in the Colonies, Colonists’ obituaries are very rare.

Below are obituaries of people who were born in the Colonies, have lived in the Colonies, or who have direct ties to the Colonies.  Please share your thoughts and feelings about these wonderful people at the end of the each obituary.

If you have an obituary that meets the criteria above, please send us your relative’s obituary, life sketch, newspaper story/clipping along with a picture to editor@lascolonias.org  You may also add an obituary by cutting and pasting the copy and a picture in any comment box and we will add the obituary to the list.
