Dayton 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
