Virginia City's Cemetery 20

The cemetery was really huge and was actually divided into sections. You were buried according to the organizations and races in which you belonged. I suppose the graves have survived fairly well although there has been quite a bit of vandalism. My father is an archaeologist and he says this cemetery is very special with extremely unique headstones. If you are unfamiliar with Virginia City...it was the bustling city that was home to the Comstock Lode...the huge silver mining center of Nevada in the 1880's.
