The Austin Cemetery, is a 5-acre (2.0 ha) cemetery whose first known burials were in 1863 in Austin, Nevada, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.[1][2]
History
[edit | edit source]It consists of four cemetery sections: Masonic and Odd Fellows sections on the north of U.S. 50, and Calvary (Catholic) and "Citizens" sections on the south side. A fifth section, for Indians, next to the Citizen's section, is not included in the NRHP listing, due to owner issues.[2]
Notable burials
