A Strange Santa Fe Funeral Procession of 140 Bodies
A bizarre procession arrived in Santa Fe last week with twenty wagons carrying remains from Fort Craig buried over years. Bodies were exhumed, packed in gunny sacks, labeled like ore, and laid into graves at the Government Cemetery. Only Lieut Drew’s coffin carried a body, survived by thirst, the tongues protruding as decay showed the death’s horror. No rites were offered, workers discarded the sacks as merchandise, a grisly spectacle noted in Santa Fe.
