Data recovery of existing gravesites and markers, 1991,
Catholic Cemetery, Virginia City
Blackie (dog) plot CT-069.
I believe the word 'dog' was interjected by transcriber, and did not appear on
marker. It's hard to fathom a priest allowing for the burial of a dog in a Catholic
Cemetery, particularly when you consider the prevailing social attitudes surrounding the
place of animals, specifically dogs. Burial in a Catholic Cemetery does not seem likely.
Blackie is all
that remains to identify the site. A death record must exist.
