History

The date on which the Frisco Cemetery was established is uncertain; what is known is that it is more than one hundred years old. Portions of the cemetery have been left in their natural state, while other sections are more manicured and maintained by the Town. The cemetery has twenty-seven blocks; three of which are reserved for the Deming, Lund, and Thomas/Mogee families in the natural area. It is surmised that most of the earliest and unmarked graves are for miners, prostitutes, and paupers.

In 1951 an uproar erupted in the town when newcomer Emil Slovak claimed that a half acre of the cemetery was on his ranch. He erected a barbed-wire fence on what he determined was his property line and threatened to dig up the graves on his side of the fence. After a legal battle with Frisco officials, Slovak lost his case. He eventually sold his ranch.
