Cemetery
Dayton, Lyon County, Nevada
Founded 1851
|
| DAYTON CEMETERY "Founded in 1851, this is one of the oldest constantly maintained cemeteries in the State of Nevada. The trail to the mother lode passed directly in front and the wagon trackscan still be seen with careful observation. James Finney (Ole Virginie) after whom Virginia City is named is buried here. The known names are primarily Italian as this ethnic group has predominated down through Dayton's early history. Recognizing the potential of the land and the irrigating value of the Carson River, the Italians made this area the breadbasket for the Comstock." State of Nevada Historical Landmark #233 |

| FINNEY, James "Old Virginny" 2nd view |
6/20/1861 | State of Virginia; Died in Chinatown, Dayton, about 44 yrs old; one of the first placer gold miners in Gold Canyon, arriving in 1850 or 1851. Old Virginny was so revered by other Comstock miners they named Virginia City after him, voting at a community meeting. What little is known about him indicates he was a hard drinking but skillful miner. Also generous, honorable, congenial, charitable and picturesque. History notes he located the first quartz claims on the Comstok at Gold Hill at the Comstock Lode, Ophir Diggings father up the mountain, both 1859. The Virginia mountain range carries his name, Dayton residents buried him, passing a resolution in his honor, noting "people of this territory have lost a man to whom more than any other they indebted for the discovery of the mineral wealth of this territory" | |
