@@callesiete74 Yes! My brother in law has a scrapbook of photos because he and his family lived there when he was a boy. It's so interesting, to think there was this thriving town right there.
I remember smelter town was out of this world the air tasted sweet and sulphury no one ever talks about the health issues caused by living and working at asarco i would go into asarco it was like the gates of hell in some areas it is sad the smoke stack is gone was a historical monument

I live less than two miles from this cemetery but have never been inside. This is such a fascinating piece of El Paso history, though!
Smelter Town, El Segundo Barrio and La Chihuahuta alot of forgotten History 🙏🏼⚘😎
