Yea Morley fascinates me everytime we travel south to New Mexico or Arizona.
And I keep saying I am going to Ludlow one day. :)

For what its worth -
Morley was started as a SF RR water stop, station and postoffice in 1875
and was abandoned ten years later. The coal mine opened in 1906 and the
company town lasted until 1956. The peak population was in 1928.
Starkville is just down the canyon. It started life as San Pedro but was
renamed Starkville in 1879 when H.G. Stark opened his coal mine.
Ludlow, about 14 miles NW of Trinidad, is where the infamous "Battle of
Ludlow" took place in the 1913-1914 miners strike. The Colo. NG spent that
winter at mines across Colorado.

What you were looking at was the ruins of a town called Morley and
the St Aloysius Catholic Church.
