KOEHLER NEW MEXICO, 1910 Federal Census Information provided by: James Malecki, Nov. 25, 2002 FL4302@aol.com There were a significant number of Croatians living in the coal mining town of Koehler in 1910. The Koehler mine opened in 1906 and was one of several mining towns near Raton, New Mexico, that supplied coal for the rapidly growing railroads. The mine and the town closed in 1955. The following is a list of Croatian names from the 1910 Federal Census. I transcribed the names as accurately as possible and did not edit them. The census listed them as being born in "Austria" and nationality as "Croatian." I have personal knowledge of the names that have an asterisk after them. Further information for research may be obtained from the microfilmed of records of St. Patrick Catholic Church and from the Colfax County Courthouse in Raton NM. Koehler was located 16 miles SW of Raton.
