I'm pleased to announce the addition of photos for two new cemeteries, thanks to
contributions by two volunteers. Their contribution of their photographs is
greatly appreciated by all genealogists. These are two old cemeteries, so the
contributions are really appreciated, before some of the headstones get totally
deteriorated.
In Carson City, Empire City Cemetery has been added from photos sent in by Sue
Silver. Empire City is located off Highway 50 near Carson City.
In Lyon County, Dawnetta Bolaris contributed her photos of an abandoned
cemetery in Smith, near Yerington. The cemetery, Valley Grove, is overgrown,
and some of the
original burials were reinterred in another cemetery.
Both of these cemeteries are important to the history of the area and are a
valuable addition to our webpage. To see these two new collections, please go
to the main page and click on Lyon County and Carson, scroll down until you see
the cemetery.

Many thanks to Kathy Grace who has contributed approximately 1,300 obituaries to
our obituary page. Many of the obits she submitted are from the Northern Nevada
area, and are in the date range of 1880s to 1920s. These are gradually being
poste at the obituary page.
Another new contributor of obituaries is Pat Houser, who is in the process of
contributing many obituaries from the Southern Nevada area, including Clark and
Nye counties.
