Subject: [NVMINERA] Rhyolite Cemetery, Nye County, Nevada

Ben Gibson of Las Vegas went to Beatty, Nevada and to Rhyolite, Nevada (Nye County) and photographed both cemeteries in his quest for his Eagle rank in the Boy Scouts.

I have just finished posting his pictures for Rhyolite on the Nevada Tombstone website, at

http://www.usgwtombstones.org/nevada/nevada.html

Select Nye County then scroll down to see the pictures. Beatty and Rhyolite are approximately 125 miles North of Las Vegas. We are truly greatful that Ben was able to capture some of the deteriorating tombstones and some of its history for genealogists to share.
