Midday on November 30, 1944, an eighty-one-car west-bound mixed freight train derailed after a hot box on the seventh car of the train led to its axle breaking. The train carried airplane engines, canned corned beef, mattresses, fuel oil, and 165 five-hundred pound bombs bound for the Pacific Theatre. Thirty-six cars derailed. The oil car caught fire. After burning for twenty to thirty minutes, the munitions exploded. The explosion dug a crater 75 feet wide and 10 feet deep. Most of the buildings in Tolar were destroyed, including the post office, the railroad station, and the grocery. The blast was felt 120 miles away in Hereford, Texas. Thirty miles to the southeast in Elida, dishes fell from their shelves and windows broke in Melrose, twelve miles to the east. One person was killed, Tolar resident Jess Brown, who was struck in the head by a piece of metal and died while being transported to the hospital in Melrose. His widow, Pauline Brown, received a $17,500 settlement from the railroad for his death. Because of the war, the Federal Bureau of Investigation sent Special Agent R.J. Untreiner to investigate. The Bureau found no signs of sabotage and that it was an accident. While The New York Times reported only a single paragraph about the accident, it was front page news in New Mexico newspapers. Because of that news coverage, officials of the Manhattan Project issued a cover story of an ammunition explosion on the Alamogordo Air Force Base on July 16, 1945 after the test of the first atomic bomb.

What is a DNA test?

A DNA test is a procedure to determine if exact biological characteristics exist in one person's DNA and those exact same DNA characteristics in another person's DNA makeup. As humans each of us have different DNA makeup, however parents and children have the same DNA, siblings from the same parents have the same DNA and grandparents have the same DNA as grandchildren. A DNA test is a non-intrusive procedure usually utilizing a oral swab from all parties, which then follows a specific chain of custody process in which the oral swab specimens are sent to a certified and accredited AABB laboratory. The Laboratory than analyzes the DNA specimen and provides the results. DNA test results are 99.9% accurate.

Tolar, New Mexico (pronounced TOL-er) is a ghost town in the panhandle of northern Roosevelt County that existed in the 20th Century. The site is at the intersection of New Mexico State Road 86 and U.S. Routes 60 and 84 between Fort Sumner in De Baca County and Melrose in Curry County. Tolar was established as a stop on the Belen Cutoff of the Santa Fe Railway in 1907. A train carrying munitions exploded there in 1944, causing the largest accidental explosion in New Mexico history.

The first settler in the vicinity of Tolar was Alvin Ellender Jeter, who applied for a patent on 160 acres of land under the Homestead Act in 1901. Jeter found abundant groundwater there and built a half-dugout house. His daughter Marvie Ellen Jeter, born July 9, 1903, was the first child born at Tolar. The Jeter family moved to Haskell, Texas in 1917.

To bypass the steep grades on its line through the Raton and Glorieta Passes, the Santa Fe Railway in 1903 began work on the Belen Cutoff across East Central New Mexico, building a new line eastward from Belen through the Abo Pass to Texico on the state line with Texas. Much sand and gravel for construction of the railroad came from the vicinity of Tolar. A race riot broke out in 1905 amongst the construction workers and railroad men that led to eight deaths; supposedly the bodies were buried in fill at Tolar. The cutoff was finished in December 1907.

While still a tent city, the United States Post Office Department opened a post office at Tolar on August 18, 1905. J.W. Coleman, the first postmaster named the town for Tolar, Texas, where his daughter lived. In 1908, the town was platted. By 1911, 600 people lived there. Tolar had a school until 1926, when it was consolidated with one in Taiban. The railroad station closed in March 1933. The population fell to 350 by 1941 and under 300 in 1944.
