Reprinted from New Mexico Genealogist June 2002 - Extracted by Henrietta Martinez Christmas Sapello or Sapeyo is a small settlement on the Sapello River about 13 miles north of Las Vegas on the road to Mora. Early settlers came from San Miguel del Bado, Las Vegas, Mora and Pena Blanca and were mostly interested in the sheep industry and Comanche trade. Sapello actually had 3 cemeteries; one near the incline, one under the floor of the old church, Our Lady of Guadalupe, and the cemetery, sit to the north of the settlement. The first church was built about 1859 and was rather a large structure. In the old days, the floorboards were removed, people were buried, and then lettering burned into the plank stating the name and death date. Records were extracted from the Family History Library microfilm # 1930437. If in doubt check the film for accuracy.
