Description
Photograph of a view of the road through the old Catholic cemetery in Virginia City, Nevada, [s.d.]. A small fenced plot stand on a cement base on the left with a tree and another plot just next to it with no fence. Further down the thin, dirt road a lightly-colored plot can be seen with a grave marker and short fence while a plot stands just uphill to it with a taller wood fence. Several more grave markers can be seen around the bend of the road at the top of the hill, many with bases and small fences. Short trees stand among them along with weeds and small bushes. "Many graves date from the 1860's".
